“This Is So Stupid”

Kristi Noem says she’s “thrilled” that Pam Bondi has agreed to “go after” reporters promoting the ICEBlock app (including CNN) pic.twitter.com/Cu5zRW1M0V

I’m wondering what the cause of action/statute violation is here.”I’m in a bad mood, and I wanna sue,” is not really grounds for a remedial action. So, what? Interference? Obstruction? Those words don’t mean what Trump and Noem think they mean.

Even publishing the instructions for how to make a bomb don’t make you responsible for the bomber who follows them. There are engineering schools that teach how to make and use explosives. Information is out there. Always has been. Just because you don’t know that, doesn’t mean it’s criminal.

It just means you’re ignorant. Who do you sue/prosecute for finding out your own ignorance?

There’s really no other way to put it.  Is DOJ going after Apple, the only company with a platform this app will run on? Or the app developer? Not unless CNN reports it, I guess.

This is so stupid.
