Conservative-libertarian journalist John Stossel suing Facebook for two million dollars is a good start — but only a start.
Variety reported late last week that the popular TV and internet personality seeks damages of no less than $2 million for defamation via the company’s fact-checking system.
The suit, filed in the Northern District of California court by Dhillon Law Group, asks:
Do Facebook and its vendors defame a user who posts factually accurate content, when they publicly announce that the content failed a “fact-check” and is “partly false,” and by attributing to the user a false claim that he never made?
“The answer,” the suit states, “is yes.”
Stossel and his attorneys argue that “Facebook and its ‘fact-check’ vendors are currently serving as judge, jury, and executioner regarding whether users are on the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ side of a complex scientific debate.” (I should know, i am once again shut down on facebook for sharing factual scientific info about the dangers of the experimental covid vaccine... ive been banned for 4 out of the last 4.5 months) https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2021/09/27/john-stossel-suing-facebook-for-two-million-dollars-n1481783
