someone probably needs to explain to the judge that there is a huge difference between the state having a compelling interest to protect children thus over-riding privacy rights and the compelling interest of a private entity seeking personal remuneration for alleged defamation. state entity vs private entity, crime vs tort, physical harm vs monetary/reputation harm. I’m sorry… someone is being dumb or lazy to accept this parallel.
