[quote=Anonymous]The Tampa judge seemed really unimpressed with Signore's attorney. I was not quite comfortable that his having "only" a YouTube channel (with over a million subscribers) and no accompanying website was used to support his not being a journalist. I think Signore is likely a bad actor, but I could totally see a person incorporating themselves as a company and doing actual journalism on YT. Doesn't help that he lied about what type of corporation he has, but I'm not satisfied with the idea that this means he's self-employed and not part of a news organization. That is a really tough standard and so outdated. And on top of that, judge says the lawyer didn't do much to explain his newsgathering methods.

Lively also had some stuff in her opposition citing his Linked In where he basically represents himself as up for hire for SEO and digital campaigns, but Signore claimed that was an outdated description and the judge does not bring it up in the order so apparently did not consider it. That to me is a better basis for him not being a journalist than the fact that he incorporated his own channel, but since it was in dispute it was easier not to rely on that.

Part of me does wonder if whatever he was texting to Nathan bugged the judge during the in camera review and swayed him to Lively's side.

I looked back at some of the other documents and Lively claimed he started posting negative stories about her in August 2024 but the privilege log only covers 2025, so if Nathan was feeding him stories via those texts, that was after he started covering the case, which is a point in WF's favor I guess. Lively's subpoena was not limited to 2025 so any 2024 communications should have been included.

I would love to see it eventually unsealed but he doesn't have to turn it over to Lively til December 17, so too late for her to include in her MSJ opposition.
