Law professor Alan Dershowitz was dragged online after saying Wednesday that former president Donald Trump’s lawsuit against Google, Facebook and Twitter is an “important First Amendment case.”
“This is the most important First Amendment case of the 21st Century,” the lawyer declared on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
He went on, “It’s important because it pits freedom of speech on the one hand against the First Amendment on the other hand. That may sound paradoxical, but remember, it’s the high-tech giants that are banning freedom of speech. They are censoring but they’re claiming the right to do so under the First Amendment so they’re using the First Amendment as a sword against freedom of speech. That’s why I call this ‘the new censorship.'”

Why is every standard and routine activity becomes the “most important…” on Conservative media just cause Trump is involved? Pretty sure this isn’t the first time Twitter, FaceBook or Google have been sued claiming their first amendment rights are being violated.

It’s not a 1st Amendment case, and it’s gonna bounce.
The easiest bounce is located in the terms of service for Facebook and Twitter.
