Meanwhile, me:
Proud Facebook Felon since 2009!

I just sued Facebook.
I didn’t want to sue. I hate lawsuits. I tried for a year to reach someone at Facebook to fix things, but Facebook wouldn’t.
Here’s the problem: Facebook uses “independent fact-checkers” to try to reduce fake news on its site.
That’s a noble goal.
Unfortunately, at least one Facebook “fact-checker” is a climate-alarmist group that cleverly uses its Facebook connections to stop debate.
Facebook is a private company. It has every right to cut me off.
But Facebook does not have the right to just lie about me, yet that’s exactly what Facebook and its “fact-checker” did. That’s defamation, and it’s just wrong.
My video this week shows videos that Facebook throttled.
The defamation started with the fact-checker, a group called Climate Feedback. It didn’t like that my video reported facts suggesting that government mismanagement probably played a bigger role in causing California’s wildfires than climate change.
Climate Feedback got Facebook to censor this as “misleading” and link to a page that still declares the following quote misleading: “Forest fires are caused by poor management. Not by climate change.”
As if that were something I said. But I didn’t! I never said that.
In fact, I said: “Climate change has made things worse. California has warmed 3 degrees.”
I’ve worked at NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. All would have fired me if I falsely attributed a quote.
I emailed Climate Feedback’s editor. She didn’t respond. But two of three scientists listed as their “reviewers” agreed to interviews.
Stefan Doerr of Swansea University surprised me by saying he’d never even watched my video.
“If this is implying that we have reviewed the video,” said Doerr, “this is clearly wrong.”

Awesome! I hope Stossel gets RICH on FB money.
The Narrative is all that matters.
The Left has said that they’ve chosen truth over facts. When they say “truth” they mean the ideology which cannot be rejected by anyone for any reason. Facts don’t matter.
Good on you, John Stossel.
Best of luck, Mr. Stossel

Seems to me like many, many others should also have a basis for such a suit.
Facebook does not have the ‘right’ to cut you off when it’s claiming to just be a platform and not a publisher. Its section 230 protections need to evaporate. Fakebook wants its cake and to eat it too. JMHO.
Pretty sure this ends with Stossel begging for his “vaccine” and “donating” a thousand bucks to the Dem Party.
Sorry John, but this statement is misleading and unprovable.
In fact, I said: “Climate change has made things worse. California has warmed 3 degrees.”
JS I’m with you one thousand percent but, OF COURSE you will receive no justice from our totally corrupt ‘justice’ system.
And in the possible event of a judgement against FecesBook, the Marxist apparatchiki there will just flip the bird because they don’t give a damn and don’t obey the law ever.
Zuckface is good with it and supports it.
LOL!
I'm not a member of Facebook (nor plan to ever join), but sounds like you have an excellent set of skills...
just like suing the CIA
How is it misleading?
Your as bad as the fascist/communist censors.
John, you are stupid.
There is nothing noble about them or their goals.
This is what happens when you become wedded to a concept. In his case, that everything a "private" company does is perfectly fine.
It is not.
Anytime something becomes "Big" whatever it becomes a bureaucracy. When it becomes a bureaucracy it become tyrannical if it was not before.
At that point it become dangerous to your freedom.
Just read up on the International Association of the Congo if you need some history.
