  8. Thiel and Speech<\/a>
    \n“If a billionaire can come up with enough cases that are plausible enough to not get thrown out, any media company can be bankrupted defending themselves. Unlike with 1st Amendment cases, there is no legal or constitutional recourse.”<\/li>\n

  15. Confession Booth | Amber A’Lee Frost<\/a>
