Facebook lawsuit for fact-check and censorship

Facebook "won" a lawsuit for displaying fact-check messages on anti-vaccination posts, which according to the team that filed the complaint is "censorship".

Η ομάδα Children's Health Defense (από το CHD, που σημαίνει Υπεράσπιση της Παιδικής Υγείας) , με επικεφαλής τον Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., κατέθεσε μια αγωγή τη Δευτέρα στο Ομοσπονδιακό Δικαστήριο του San .

In April, when the influx of misleading and y content about COVID-19, the largest social network began to warn users when they interacted with posts disinformation about the pandemic, with tags like, or share.

In these publications there were also "cure for all" measures, fake methods for the prevention of transmission and conspiracy theories, which connected the vaccinations for COVID-19 with 5G!

Οι προειδοποιήσεις περιελάμβαναν προειδοποιήσεις και ειδοποιήσεις από εταιρείες ελέγχου γεγονότων για παραπλανητικό και μη αποδεδειγμένες αξιώσεις, καθώς και συνδέσμους προς τις σελίδες των Κέντρων Ελέγχου και Πρόληψης Νοσημάτων (Disease and Prevention or CDC)) and the World Health Organization (World Health Organization or WHO).

Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and three fact-finding companies hired by the company to conduct hot checks on issues such as Covid-19, 5G and vaccines have been accused of "falsifying and defaming CHD."

Along with the appearance of notifications on CHD content, Facebook also removed the group donation button and cut the ads.

CHD states in its complaint (PDF) that Facebook and the US government collaborated on censorship and that the company should not be protected as a First Amendment infringer - which usually does not apply to private companies, as Facebook and the state appear to have "privatized" the law.

In addition, the group claims that Facebook has "suspicious transactions" with pharmaceutical companies, health regulators, and has a legitimate interest in telecommunications and 5G.

CHD is seeking more than $ 5 million in damages.
