The Differences Between Social Media Companies and Private Litigants

Jeffrey Toobin: In Missouri versus Biden there was two states, Missouri and Louisiana that are actually plaintiffs. So every citizen of the state is a plaintiff. And the AGs are representing. They were able to bring the case not only on that, from that footing, but also using a different set of laws than private litigants would be able to essentially rely upon when they bring that kind of case against the social media companies. He says left to their own devices, social media companies are there to get more eyeballs, more viewers, make money. "It goes against the very model that they exist," Toobin adds.
