Somerville man loses another lawsuit over stuff posted about him online

A federal judge today dismissed a lawsuit by Jonathan Monsarrat over postings in a Somerville community forum, saying the forum's moderator did nothing wrong or defamatory when he moved the entire discussion group from a server owned by Russians to one based in the US.

Section 230 is pretty great, y'all. So is the Fair Use doctrine.

Yay for a good decision!

And wow, that's been in the works a long time.

JonMon should have spent his money on some psychotherapy instead of lawyers fees. . .

(Hey Jonnny – sue ME, motherfucker!)

I'm liking 2021's changes so far. (Also seriously, that fucktruck still trying?!)

I've been avoiding most publicity on this up to now, but jonmon's lawyer sent me a demand letter, predecessor to this second lawsuit, on March 19 last year. That's right, a week into the pandemic.

Judgment upheld on appeal

The US First Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the District Court's decision dismissing JonMon's lawsuit against me.
