#1 Louder with Crowder is Suing Facebook

Expect a suit against Google too. Youtube demonetized his channel.

The suit will be filed and publicly available this week. It will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The causes of action under state law include unfair competition and false advertising.

The key remedy is injunctive relief (stop unfair/deceptive acts). We're also seeking seven-figure monetary damages. The goal here is forcing honesty and clarity in policy application and enforcement.

Our broader point is that we are pro-business but anti-fraud. Facebook lured consumers and creators to spend money and provide data and views under the promise of not engaging in political, racial or religious bias in enforcing their policies, but they have done so both expressly and secretively, and hence, the suit.

#2 When social media such as FB, Twitter and others puts itself in the position of censoring a President, it is also putting itself in the position of interfering with national security and policy.

Many countries such as Australia and others are seeing this danger.
