[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t think she’s seeking the discovery to expose the identities of these people. She’s seeking discovery to see if they were involved in the smear. If you were involved in the smear, you deserve to have your identity uncovered and be a witness and have your dep taken. Sorry not sorry.

But the self righteous concerns of the people making money off their newsy/smeary internet content is interesting given how many of those same people, and people here, totally thought the NYT should be liable for Baldoni’s $250M defamation suit against them in this case. First amendment protections are good for randos on the internet talking total made-up shit but let’s see if we can put a paper out of business because they printed the truth about some shady guy with a billionaire best friend okay. 👌

To be clear, she’s not seeking recovery against these randos if they printed lies about her but they came up with those lies by themselves. She’s seeking mere discovery/documents from these random yonder whether they were getting paid and were involved in a targeted smear campaign. These are not the droids you are looking for, but whatevs. [/quote]

You can't just randomly subpoena any one who may have mentioned you in a negative way and get their financial info.  Account numbers are protected financial info under multiple federal financial privacy laws.  There has to be a direct, provable connection between the so-call scheme and each individual subpoena.   A vague text non-specific to any particular individual isn't enough.

Further, you have argued the motion to dismiss Baldoni's defamation case was correctly decided.  So, Blake and NY Times are entitled to First Amendment according to your thinking but not individual content creators.[/quote]

Right, in pointing out the hypocrisy of one side, does this user not realize that having those exact mirroring beliefs also means she’s a hypocrite?[/quote]

Not really, even us JB supporters acknowledged there were legitimate safe harbors he would have to get around to survive a motion to dismiss.

But glad you are calling yourself a hypocrite.[/quote]
