New York Attorney General Letitia James has another adversary in her fight to defend the state’s hate speech law: the conservative Christian wags at the Babylon Bee.
The satirical website has filed a friend-of-the-court brief contending that the 2022 Hateful Conduct Law, also known as the online hate speech law, “regulates almost nothing but constitutionally protected speech.”
Ms. James filed an appeal after Mr. Volokh, along with the video platform Rumble and the crowdfunding site Locals, won a temporary injunction CEO of The Babylon Bee Seth Dillon, and ADF lawyer Jeremy Tedesco join Andrew Doyle to discuss their legal challenge against a New York online speech law which could see satire criminalised.last year by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul requires social media platforms to create a mechanism for users to file complaints about instances of “hateful conduct,” and develop and post a policy for handling the complaints.
Her office argued that the law governs the conduct of online platforms, not speech, and that the state has a compelling interest in preventing mass shootings, but U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter said the restrictions were overbroad.
