WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court won’t help conservative provocateur Laura Rumer face social media companies and advertisers who blocked her posts.
Rumer, an influential outside adviser to President Donald Trump, has attracted a lot of attention for her conspiracy theories and inflammatory comments.
She was banned from Twitter in 2018 for “hateful” behaviour. In 2019, Facebook said it would ban Loomers and other controversial figures as “dangerous individuals” and ban users who promote violence and hatred.
However, her Twitter account was revived in 2022 after billionaire Trump’s ally Elon Musk purchased the platform.
On October 6th, the court refused to appeal by Rumer in the fourth lawsuit in which Facebook and X conspired with advertisers to stop using her site while running for Congress in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
The ban fate her campaign, she said in the lawsuit.
“Social media is important for campaigns, especially during Covid-19 restrictions, which limit traditional campaign methods such as Doorto-Door Canvassing and Public Events,” her lawyer wrote.
A federal judge in California dismissed the case, which relied on the organizational laws affected by the racket.
The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to fire Rumer, saying there was no reasonable argument that the company had violated RICO.
“The operational complaints argue that there were simply RICO companies because the defendant had a common goal of earning money and gaining influence over other companies and entities, and other monetary and non-monetary benefits,” the Court of Appeals wrote. “In short, the district court has properly dismissed the complaint and refused leave to revise it.”
