Kennedy Sues Meta Over “Censored” Campaign Video

Courthouse News reports:

Independent U.S. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sued Meta and Mark Zuckerberg Monday morning, claiming that Meta is interfering in the presidential election after it blocked one of Kennedy’s advertisements on its social media platforms.

In the complaint filed in San Francisco federal court, Kennedy claims that Meta censored a 30-minute video advertisement about his life on Facebook, Instagram and other Meta-owned platforms by blocking users on those platforms from watching, sharing or linking to the video. When users attempted to share or discuss the video, Kennedy claims that Meta suspended or banned the accounts.

The video, titled “Who is Bobby Kennedy” and narrated by actor Woody Harrelson, dives into Kennedy’s background as a lawyer as well as his controversial skepticism about the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine and pandemic-era lockdowns.
