For those who sneer at this:
It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed.
What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs.
Because they hire women & POC.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

All of these stories of all of these firings are true — and everyone should share and tell their families and friends about every one — but I think everyone needs to understand that this is exactly what we have been reporting that they are doing as a systematic operation.

Having been in the room, 20 feet away from Alito, I'm less sure this him being obtuse. I heard it as teeing up a question for the creators' lawyer to use to make an important point for the record: no, it appears TikTok is not fungible. Creators have not been able to find a workable substitute.
