US EditionSupreme Court declines to revive Laura Loomer RICO suit against Meta, Twitter
The Supreme Court dismissed Loomer's claims that Facebook, X, and advertisers conspired to block her posts during her 2020 and 2022 congressional campaigns, citing lack of RICO violation.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to take up Laura Loomer's latest appeal attempting to revive her RICO lawsuit against Meta and X.
- Loomer's lawsuit followed her bans from Twitter in 2018 and Facebook in 2019, which she alleged harmed her 2020 and 2022 congressional campaigns.
- Lower courts including a federal judge in California and the 9th Circuit repeatedly rejected her claims that the companies, with advertisers, conspired to suppress her political speech.
- The appeals court determined that Loomer's claim alleging the companies violated RICO was unfounded, and she currently has over 1.7 million followers on X.
- The Supreme Court's decision leaves intact previous rulings and maintains Section 230 protections for social media platforms' content moderation actions.
