Ten new plaintiffs have joined a federal lawsuit that targets Twitter, Google, and Facebook with allegations that ISIS used social media to radicalize the Pulse nightclub gunman.
The lawsuit is the second in recent weeks where more than a dozen Pulse victims or their families are now suing over the tragedy. The other big lawsuit is directed at the G4S security firm, where the shooter worked as a security guard, and his wife.
One of the new plaintiffs in the social media case is Christine Leinonen, mother of deceased victim Christopher “Drew” Leinonen. She has been one of the most visible activists among the Pulse victims’ families, appearing at the Democratic National Convention during the presidential campaign to speak about curbing gun violence.
“I think this is one lawsuit that may actually work, so that we could prevent some future tragedies. It’s not going to eliminate them altogether because the [expletive] that want to distribute this kind of carnage can still meet in a coffeehouse or a cave or wherever,” Leinonen said. “They are taking men who might be slightly angry because they’re not getting along with their boss or their wife, and they’re making monsters out of them.”
Twitter, Facebook targeted by more Pulse shooting victims – Orlando Sentinel.
As we know by now, Gun Control is not about guns but about control. And people like Ms Leinonen have contempt not only for the Second Amendment but for the whole Bill of Rights.
Irony? The Orlando Sentinel does not think potshots to the First Amendment will ever apply to them and gleefully covers this lawsuit. Then again, Media has become the Advertising Agency for the Left, I don’t think they are covered by the First Amendment anyway.
There is a reason why locals who know call this fake news rag “The Orlando SLANTinel” ;-D
Now they want to sue social media?
The week before the Pulse massacre, I bet many of the very same homosexuals used social media to get their partners.
Shouldn’t they be suing the FBI that let him run free?
And Hillary, who stood in solidarity with his father just weeks after the shooting?
