Federal District Judge Dismisses Russian Free-Speech Challenge To Facebook’s Shutdown of Its Account

Federal District Judge Lucy Koh has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Federal Agency of News (FAN) against Facebook for shutting down its account. 

FAN argued that Facebook was interfering with its free-speech rights. Judge Koh ruled that Facebook is not a state actor, and thus not subject to the First Amendment. However, she noted that the dismissal was without prejudice. More here from the Daily Beast.
