John Roberts, along with Brett Kavanaugh & Amy Coney Barrett. Am I correct?

She had to convince four judges to hear the case. She failed

Okay, I looked and of course they mention no names, just as I suspected.

Yeah, I I provided who were the 3 Republican nominated Justices that went with the liberal Justices. Which would leave Thomas, Alito, & Gorsuch voting to review the case.

I don’t know what basis she had for claiming it was a violation of her First amendment right to free speech. No governmental entity was involved. Not every injustice is illegal.

Agree, a private company can't violate the 1st Amendment.

Of course the government was involved. It’s been well demonstrated that Facebook was in coordination with the government executing their wishes. It’s called fascism, corporations do what government can’t, and then return government gives corporations special privileges.

Yes they can

If the private corporation acts as a state actor, meaning they are acting like a government. Otherwise the government would just “encourage” private corps to censor what they don’t like.

Granted, this is exactly what Facebook is doing, but no one has smacked them down on it yet.

This court is a joke any more. It used to be The Peoples last resort against government. Now it is controlled by Government against us like in some sci-fi movie. A horror story in front of my very eyes.

Facebook is a de facto government organization. The Biden administration has admitted this. Even Mark Zuckerberg himself admitted working with the Biden Administration to censor and suppress information damaging to the Administration. So a 1st administration violation would apply to Candace’s case.

No court has ruled this is the case. No first amendment violation is possible at this time.

Second to last resort.

Waiting for the Section 230 ruling.

No governmental entity... Are you insane? Biden, FBI, NIAID, and Justice departments meets with Facebook and tells them what to censor/who to censor, and they follow every suggestion (especially when it came to Voter Fraud, COVID, Vaccines, and Hunter Biden). Do they do this only because they are liberal or are they afraid to face the wrath of government? It’s both, so the governmental entities are most certainly involved.

No, but they can do it, in conjunction with the government.
Just gives the feds plausible deniability.
