    JGL was (is?) a vocal advocate of repealing Section 230 liability protections for online content platforms. I want to believe his heart was in the right place, but he seemed to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues at play and I could see him being swayed by Thiel’s negative aura.

      Yeah, I remember he played a role as a pretty young teenager I wanna say where he was molested by his baseball coach and then sexually assaulted another kid. And it was all super dark. So I just gotta assume he has some first hand knowledge with folks who have been abused at the very least if not been abused himself. I hope he’s just going to see what the other side is doing to better know the enemy but for all we know his name on the list is a red herring or even an inside joke for all we know.
