CitizenVectron Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 B.C. billionaire given the green light to sue Twitter over 'Pizzagate' tweets | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA West Vancouver billionaire Frank Giustra has been given the go-ahead to sue Twitter in a B.C. courtroom over the social media giant’s publication of a series of tweets tying him to baseless conspiracy theories involving pedophile rings and Bill and Hillary Clinton. On the one hand, sites shouldn't be held responsible for all content posted on them provided that they make good-faith efforts to remove illegal things. But in the case of Facebook, I think an argument can be made (and I'm sure this guy's lawyer will) that Facebook not only didn't try and remove stuff like Pizzagate lies, it actively promoted these conspiracy theories to millions of people.
