Laura Loomer Loses Lawsuit Against Twitter, Google

Note: The <h1> title is "Conservative Activists Lose Lawsuit That Accused Twitter, Google and Facebook of Censorship" but that's too long for HN, so I used the the title from the <title> element in the <head>.

To no one’s surprise:

> The Plaintiffs do not show how the Platforms’ alleged conduct may fairly be treated as actions taken by the government itself. Facebook and Twitter, for example, are private businesses that do not become “state actors” based solely on the provision of their social media networks to the public.

They tried every banal free speech absolutist claim (1st Amendment! Monopolistic collusion! Discrimination against conservatives!) and lost on all of them. A good reminder that despite the constant bombastic comments about these companies, there is no legal basis for any of these complaints. I'm surprised the court even entertained Freedom Watch with standing to sue.
