    The crux of it is

    ‘If X owned the data, it could perhaps argue it has exclusive rights to control the data, but then it wouldn’t have safe harbor.’ if you own it you don’t get section 230 protection.

    This judge is also the one who stomped Oracle, in Oracle vs Google

    Technically it is a “Judge says” post, but they still made it look like one of the old “Elon says” posts
