Leftist Press Lashes Out Against Our Free Speech Lawsuit
By Pamela Geller

Leftist publications and pundits are rubbing their hooves in glee at the Department of Justice’s response to our recent lawsuit challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, thereby permitting these social media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge.

In order for us to sue Facebook (which is our intent), we first need to knock out this federal immunity statute, which prevents us from suing Facebook. Our lawsuit is therefore against the federal government. We knock out the immunity, and then we can sue Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

I don't support this. Facebook is a private entity.


Are conservatives going to sue DailyKOS because they don't allow conservative viewpoints? Will liberals sue breitbart because they don't have liberal articles?

I completely agree.

A private business can set whatever tone and tenor they wish.

Facebook is not a public service, not a town square, and not a public soap box. You are a customer in their business, you have no more right to legally demand they allow any speech (right or left) than you have the right to sue McDonalds to serve a vegan menu.

If you don't like what that business offers, move on.
