And they get a privileged reporting channel and the company is required to give those reports first tranche priority.

If you look at what was happening under Biden, it was a very similar system.

These government agencies would arrange first tranche priority for these reports.

And some of what was put into those channels, the reports were technically made by NGOs.

You also had, you know, the upside, one of the small upsides of COVID, if you care about government transparency, is everyone is holding their meetings on video.

And so you have these videos of these Zoom meetings with government operatives saying, you know, we couldn't do this under the First Amendment, but fortunately this NGO on this call with us is going to do it instead.

So there's been one successful surprise

court case in U.S.

history on viewpoint-based debanking, and that was my case, which we won.

And that was called NRA versus Vulo.

And the way we got that into court was you had the New York financial regulator, per the pleadings, literally reaching out to financial institutions saying, you know, it would really be better for your enterprise risk management framework if you didn't do business with any pro-gun companies.

And so they have these elaborate risk management protocols.

And that's supposed to be the reputation of a bank for safety, solvency, and soundness.

If everyone thinks the bank might fail, that's bad for the system.

But there's this ESG movement to expand the concept of reputational risk to include things like, do you have a reputation for letting naughty, disfavored speakers have bank accounts?

And that came up in the NRA case.
