Top Civil Rights Lawyers Warn Mark Zuckerberg of Potential Criminal Liability

I think it's quite possible Facebook will be facing criminal actions before long both because there are statutes that can be cited that FB is probably violating and because states/localities might see suing Facebook as a possible revenue source. Ultimately I think Facebook is simply caught in the middle of a divided America and fighting with each other online will almost certainly spill over into the courts... I just hope it doesn't spill out into the streets as well.

"Zuckerberg has insisted that the policy is based on a commitment to free expression and has invoked the First Amendment and the values it protects as the impetus behind the company’s decision."

I would point out something about free expression. There can be consequences to free expression.

You can't yell Far in a crawdad theater.

I wouldn't have even warned them - I'm sure the small city's worth of lawyers they have on payroll know more than we think that the CEO could be liable - they just know all the loopholes and have all the cash to defend their choice.
