Meta, Twitter and Proctor & Gamble Seek Dismissal of $5 Billion RICO Lawsuit that Claims Authorities and Social Media Companies Conspired to Censor People

From [HERE] Motions to dismiss filed this week by Meta Platforms, Twitter, their leaders, and the Proctor & Gamble Company (P&G) aimed to end a lawsuit brought by two-time congressional candidate Laura Loomer, who ran for office in Florida. Her suit alleges “a wide-ranging conspiracy involving social media giants, other elements in corporate America and high-level officials in the Executive Branch of the United States government, to unlawfully censor conservative voices and interfere with American elections.”

Defendant Meta Platforms argued that Loomer’s fourth lawsuit, in part challenging Meta’s decisions to suspend and ban her from Facebook account for violating its hate speech policies, fares no better than her previous suit.

Loomer’s operative 118-page complaint filed in August asserts two Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) claims against the aforementioned defendants as well as unnamed culprits within the FBI and “corporate America.” It claims that the social media defendants illegally censored people and viewpoints and that all defendants illegally interfered with the 2020 Presidential election.

The lawsuit seeks damages of over $5 billion. [MORE]
