The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California on Tuesday held oral arguments in a case brought by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) against Meta Platforms Inc., also known as Facebook, its “independent fact-checkers” and Mark Zuckerberg.
CHD alleges Facebook entered into an agreement with the White House to censor an entire category of speech, de-platformed CHD Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and removed CHD’s “donate” button on Facebook, directing traffic instead to a third-party fact-checking organization that solicits donations.
CHD sued Facebook in August 2020 and filed an amended complaint in December 2020. The federal district court in the Northern District of California dismissed the case on June 29, 2021.
