Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The action item:
I got curious about this and looked into it and what little I found was very unclear to me if there is actually a case ongoing, pending or just proposed. This group has been attempting to get this off the ground for a while now it seems. They filed something on June 20 2025 but it might have been a petition (like a collection of signatures) or a petition (like a court document). Or both might be involved.
I think most optimistically, there has been some sort of very preliminary hearing about whether the case can proceed. No mention anywhere of any representation from the respondents. (And for context, numerous articles mentioned the presence of legal students to demonstrate the gravity so participants were thoroughly accounted for.) Which I suppose means: it is not at a stage where it even can be contested, OR it is not seen as a legitimate legal action worth their time. As of June 20, the applicants were quoted as saying there was no date set for any potential case and it had not yet been accepted.
At any rate I don't think anything has happened that would justify saying a "case" has been "heard". Apparently the SC next meets July 21 and some articles say whatever started here will be continued on that day. But others seem to suggest it's more like a hope that something will happen.
