Whether you’re on the registry or not, don’t give social media sites any of your real information. Fake name, birth date, location, etc. Turn off their location permission. Don’t post real photos of yourself that could be used by facial recognition algorithms.

To simplify, the Court merely stating that this case would likely fail on a FACIAL challenge, meaning a challenge to the law as it applies to everyone.

But if you read the ruling (it isn’t a long opinion), they still hold out that an AS-APPLIED challenge would have a far greater chance of winning.

As a Registrant that uses his real name on social media when possible, I have ample evidence of PUBLIC OFFICIALS, not just some rando on the Internet, but actual people in positions of power, weaponize the registry against me in an attempt to silence anti-registry activism.

I hate how courts demand overwhelming evdence when we challenge obviously bad rulings yet the state doesn’t have to do much to prove their arguments.

In reply to obvious answers. I believe the case is a constitutional challenge...

hmm.. I sense a constitutional challenge should be in play here.
