I can see this playing out like this… it goes into affect by NY politicians, then it will take someone with a lot of money and time on their hands to reverse.
According to Cuomo he wants to get “platforms purged of offenders”. What will it take to make him understand that those on the registry should be the “least” of his worries. The ones on those platforms “offending” are probably not registrants at all.
Just a useless feel good law! Does that fool know you can make millions of accounts on all different social media sites. Only way to stop people is to have the social media sites ID peoples driver licenses. But that would take a long time to do. And a lot of people would say no.
Government regulation, at this time, isn’t the real issue.
Terms of service that deny access to what has become the de facto public square ARE.
While in most locales, there is NO explicit law or regulation prohibiting registrant access to the platform, lack of regulation that prohibits these private terms of service allows us to be banned with no recourse.
It’s as if the local shopping center or other generally publicly accessible gathering place were allowed to universally and actively take steps ban us.
