He is following the Trump playbook, find anything he can to cling on, threaten a lawsuit, use that to fundraise & keep his 15 min of fame going.
His latest commercials talk about how he and many of the mypillow faithful have been cancelled by cancel culture & how to fight back they can buy mypillow products for great savings... I do not remember the pillow being $98 but thats the MSRP he quotes in the commercial to make its astronomical price seem like a bargain to the faithful.

Reality is what you can get away with.
I remember seeing the farm animals clothed & the press conferences about how keeping them naked was horrific.
Along with birds aren't real, there are also the FB groups where younger people have been cosplaying Boomers. They try to outdo each other & be over the top... but somehow they fail to out Boomer the Boomers.
Its sort of sad the old school satirical groups have mostly dried up, but part of this might be driven by the absolute fear they will find themselves leading an army of insane people.
(See also: Q recently went to ground & the various factions are dividing to follow new leadership. How many people are still in TX waiting for JFK Jr. to return to the living & lead the charge against the devil worshiping child eaters?)
It used to be we could smile & nod at the clearly insane, now they get elected to office and infect more people.
I think the true pity is while Congress is focused on fake news and misinformation on all of these other platforms but they manage to ignore how much damage is coming from their own membership spreading outright lies & they refuse to do anything while demanding FB does a perfect job.

"Even if this precedent did not exist, the court says the due process violations are so blindingly obvious that there's no plausible excuse for the detectives' actions. "
And yet, we've seen many of them get away with this and worse because no one ever fully explained murdering someone in cold blood for contempt of cop is wrong.
Justice is blind, deaf, & dumb.
How many more railroaded citizens before we consider perhaps that sometimes the "good guys" are cheating?
How many more times can a court not hear how outrageous a cops actions were & still find QI?
How many rights violations can be accepted before we call the whole damn thing dumb & demand it change?

On the one hand I'd love to point out that this is another example of why it would be in everyones benefit to get a unified global copyright policy for creators off the ground.
On the other hand we all know it would end up being ridden hard & put away wet by the cartels and we'd end up with laws that make Japan's crazy look really balanced.

They'll just claim they discovered things via some other way to hide that they are violating the law & rights and everyone will be fine with it.

"The main source of stress: waiting for her friends to open and respond to messages and photos on Snapchat."
O M G Becki!
Perhaps teaching your child that they are not the center of the universe would have helped here.
I swear I've mentioned that whole Skinner Box press a button for instant gratification thing before.
How long has this child ever had to wait for anything they just had to have?
I know I shouldn't mock the suicidal, but 'they didn't read my message fast enough' shows a much deeper problem with the child than social media.
But hey its trendy to blame all the things on social media & pretend that someone else will fix it & parents don't have to raise a finger, except to point it at Zucks for being the devil.
It is a pity that once again there is a huge problem with dangerous outcomes happening & instead of getting all the information we think it will just vanish one day and we don't need masks or vaccines.
I mean its only your kids lives on the line, its to hard to really dig into whats happening, we'll just blame social media and expect everyone else to solve it for us with a viewing of "documentaries" that suffer from the same confirmation bias that lets parents off the hook so they can pretend they have no part in this.
Meanwhile there are children being bullied daily, schools & parents looking away until something bad happens then its the fault of social media not the little bastard children who tormented someone else with no one doing a gosh darn thing to stop it.
Sometimes your kids are shitty, and if your first response to that was 'not my child' I dare you to look at the messages your child is sending to others, because you are in for a big surprise.
You ignore your children on social media pretending its to hard & expecting corporations to take care of it for you... how fscking stupid are you?
Social media is sooo bad, but you just bought your kid the new ithingy so they can do it faster & better than before... mixed messages much?
You don't need to spend thousands on tracking/spying, how about just sitting down with your kid, putting your phones face down & asking them how they are doing and expecting more than okay i guess as a response.
Instead of demanding they show you everything they are doing online, instead ask them what they are into & to see those things. Do the really basic cheap thing & talk to your child in realtime & put time into the relationship so when your child has a problem they know they can come to you & get support rather than being blown off because you are busy posting on FB how awesome a parent you are.

People join the CIA imagining becoming James Bond, shooting, breaking in, getting assets out...
People discover that 99% of working for the CIA is looking at documents exfiled from computers detailing the data that was exfiled from the CIA servers about how they were able to exfil from one of their allies.
TL;DR - CIA discovers rest of the world no longer is fooled by swapping a white cowboy hat for your black cowboy hat & a press on mustache.

Aren't y'all the race that screams that showing/mentioning/whispering/writing about teen suicide causes teen suicide?
You breathlessly cover the conspiracy theories in the asinine both sides thinking, completely ignoring the harms that any coverage at all of some things causes huge harms in other settings in your world?
Now y'all are playing humans other favorite game of assigning the blame, to big tech of course, before looking if you had any culpability (which you will assume you didn't because big tech did it).
On the one hand you were all terrified of turning the wackjob army against you by stopping an interview once Rudy got to the Panda Paratroopers being airdropped in to stuff our ballot boxes with bamboo ballots and the concept of saying prove it is a lost art.
Y'all decided keeping the eyes on you by covering every freaking stupid claim without injecting any tiny bit of logic that they've never offered proof, courts ran them out of town, and honestly this make no sense and we shouldn't give you the airtime to repeat this bullshit.
Might be playing into the MSM is silencing us trope, but demanding facts supporting claims is like the bedrock of coverage of things, not just letting MTG go on and on about jewish space lasers in every show y'all offer every 20 minutes.
But yes, FB did it... not outlets willing to provide platforms for unchecked lies.
