There seems to be a misunderstanding about this ruling.<p>It&#x27;s just a ruling against an injunction that would have barred resolving the deplatforming dispute through arbitration.<p>It has no precendtial value. It has no probative value. It says nothing about how the underlying dispute will be resolved.<p>It should be seen as just one of many examples of the courts binding companies to the arbitration procedures companies included in their customer contracts in their attempts to avoid court.

Legal issues aside as for all intents and purposes perhaps all legal aspects proceeded as intended -<p>Seeing as he also spreads misinformation on AIDS and Coronavirus not even being real, one can only hope he suferrs a horrifying fate of both at the same time.

They&#x27;re not going to pay 10k per case. They&#x27;re not going to have legal fees of $20 million. This is all hyperbole and conjecture from someone with a poor track record.

Twitter is reportedly considering integrating a subscription service between members. Their lawyers must be reviewing this case very carefully. It may mean they&#x27;ll have much less flexibility to restrict accounts with paid subscribers.

Does this imply that a company wanting to stick with an arbitration clause is better off relocating outside California?
