Since the New York Post first broke news of the MacBook abandoned at John Paul Mac Isaac's computer repair store, the veracity of the documents has been confirmed many times and neither of the Bidens have denied the authenticity of the documents.
In an attempt to obtain some semblance of justice, Isaac sued Twitter in a federal district court for defamation.
Unlike most of the cases against Twitter, Section 230 provides the tech giant no protection for Isaac's lawsuit.
While Section 230 grants "Interactive computer service" providers for immunity for information posted by users, the basis of Isaac's lawsuit is on Twitter's own allegedly defamatory statement, namely its branding of Isaac as a hacker, and not on something a user posted.
Second, while Twitter also has immunity for the good faith censorship of users' speech, the defamation claim against Twitter does not rest on Twitter's banning of the New York Post and coverage of the MacBook scandal.
Rather, Isaac's claim is premised on Twitter stating, as a fact, that the material included in the articles was "Hacked." Unfortunately for Isaac, a federal court dismissed his lawsuit against Twitter on August 30, 2021.
"Appeals are extremely costly and because of Twitter's conduct, Isaac is now unemployed." Failing to appeal will be costly too because in tossing Isaac's case, presiding Judge Bloom found Isaac must pay Twitter's costs and attorney's fees under Florida's anti-SLAPP statute.
