Suing on 1st Amendment grounds is the wrong legal tack to take. Google doesn’t have to respect her right to free speech, and no one can compel them to. Only the government has to respect that right.
She is suing on the theory that since the Techs have what amounts to monopoly power, and tend to collude, that they have a responsibility to carry all political ads without favor.
Of course, we on the Right know that this is not even remotely true.
I don’t know that’s true in light of the court ruling that Trump can’t ban people from his social media account. The court held in essence the social media publisher was a public service for Trump’s “official” government statements and based it’s ruing on 1st Amendment grounds. There’s certainly a good argument to be made there.
Yeah, I think I’d have the lawyers hitting it from a campaign finance angle or laws about wrongfully influencing an election, something like that.
Google owns government Patents which ban free competition.
You bet they must respect the First Amendment,
or else relinquish their monopoly.
