I hope she loses.
No one should “own” words or concepts.
Then why are we banned from using certain words on social media?
Just because you can freely say something doesn’t mean I have to forced to listen to it.
And that means that the words cannot be used, which means they are not owned by you. If you could use them, you would own them right?
But the words can be used, just not in that specific space. If you're not allowed to bring a gun to a restaurant it doesn't mean the restaurant suddenly owns the bullets.
