Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax: Trump Social Media Suit ‘Very, Very Important’
Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against social media companies is “very, very important” and “a complicated case,” during an appearance on “National Report.”
When asked about Trump’s suit against Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, Dershowitz said, “This is a very, very important lawsuit. What’s going on with high tech is unacceptable. It’s inconsistent with the spirit of free speech that underlies our First Amendment. This is a complicated case because, as the president pointed out, and as Pam Bondi pointed out, the others pointed out, these are not just ordinary private companies – they have special exemption… and therefore they partake of some kind of government action, and the courts will have to parse this issue.”
He added, “What we don’t want is the government telling private companies what they can say and what they can do. That would be wrong, but we don’t want these crazy, public, enormous, monopolistic companies to be restricting our free speech. The current situation is unacceptable, and this lawsuit, I think, will shake things up considerably, though I can’t predict in the end how it will come up.” [ Source: NewsMax (Read More…) ]
