Noble, but useless

Here’s the problem: Facebook uses “independent fact-checkers” to try to reduce fake news on their site. That’s a noble goal.

No it isn't. It should not be their goal to decide if what someone posts is true or not. If it is not true, another user can refute it.

Rots a Ruck.

Even if you spent all the money to even get it into court, the judge is probably a Leftist and biased toward Facebook.

If you have enough money to take it through appeals you might win.

But Hey, suggestion: if you have that much money and are a Patriot, why not launch a startup in competition with FB.

Hope he makes it a class action lawsuit because Facebook has harmed many lives and ruined as many conservatives as they could.

Facebook is a private company. It has every right to cut me off.

That's not true. And eventually, once the proper lawsuits are brought up against Facebook, they will be proven to be a public service company.

If a newspaper reported the news (and opinions), and they were forbidden from bringing forth those views and opinions, then, the newspaper would have the right to sue those preventing their reporting or opinion writing.

Facebook (and Twitter, etc) bring the news and opinions to the people. They may not be the creators of the news and opinions, but, they do the delivery of that news and opinions. As delivery vehicles, they have a responsibility to deliver the content, from all sides.

If a newspaper was blocked from delivery of their papers, by a government or other organization, then, people and/or organizations would get sued. If a trucking company was forbidden from delivery of newspapers, simply because of the views of those working at the newspaper company, then, either the trucking company would get sued or go out of business. Facebook is a delivery method. It does not have the right to review and then block the contents of articles, simply because of Facebook's views or agenda.

The Supreme Court has ruled that lunch counters may not break civil rights laws by discriminating against people by race. What gives the Supreme Court the right to tell private businesses what to do? The Supreme Court says they get this power by the fact that, as representatives of the public, the businesses have no right to represent the public in discriminating against people. The difference between that ruling and the Facebook blowup is that speech is protected by the Constitution. Race is not.

Disagree. Any company that specializes in mass communications can not be allowed to censor speech based on opinion.

If they don't want to allow free speech, they should not be allowed to create a business that carries mass communications.
