Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and Google Win Dismissal of Anti-Conservative Bias Suit
A federal appeals court on Wednesday found in favor of technology companies Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Twitter (NYSE: TWTR), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Google, a division of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), dismissing a suit that alleged the companies had engaged in a far-reaching conspiracy to suppress conservative viewpoints on their respective online platforms.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Washington, D.C., Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling, dismissing a lawsuit brought by far-right YouTube provocateur Laura Loomer and Freedom Watch, an organization founded by conspiracy theorist and serial lawsuit-filer Larry Klayman, who accused the four tech titans of conspiring to violate their free speech rights and breaking antitrust laws. The lawsuit was filed after Facebook and Twitter banned Loomer for espousing anti-Muslim views and violating the platforms' rules against hate speech and bullying.
