the issue isn't a plaintiff it's SCOTUS giving anyone (and I do mean anyone) standing to sue
peark.es
yeah it's redistribution, just not..that kind of redistribution

This is a fair question (the answer is no) but I am begging people to just quickly check out U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 7 because it's really not about counting dollars.
dumb question, but: are we making enough in tariff revenue to fund these programs?

Why? Because people only report their enemies, and they report a lot of things that aren't actionable in the hopes of getting their enemies in trouble. The standard industry assumption is that between 90-95% of user reports are reports of non-actionable content.
