Lawsuits are the answer.

No, they aren't.

First, Facebook is obviously a cutout of our intelligence agencies. No US court is going to have a ruling that will actually hurt Facebook.

Second, we're always going to have propaganda and censorship - get used to it. Nobody is forced to use Facebook, and honestly, why do people use Facebook? I have every site they own (to my knowledge anyhow) blocked from my /etc/hosts file. I've never seen a reason to use that site.

Students Sue CA State Colleges Over COVID Vaccine Mandates

Nebraska Wesleyan had put a policy that now students could return this fall unless jabbed or had a note from the doctor saying the jab was explicitly detrimental to that students health. It seems many parents rebelled, because now Wesleyan is allowing the students to get an extension as to when the FDA approves the jab. Hopefully that approval is years away. Unfortunately, my kid's doctor refused to give the waiver, likely from orders above. If not for that extension, we would have pulled her enrollment, which is bad because it is her senior year. Since my kid will get the extension, Wesleyan requires her to get a Covid test a few days before school starts (a "saliva" test) plus Covid test every month or so.

Parents Sue DC Over Allowing Kids to be Vaccinated Without Parent’s Consent
BY LI HAI July 16, 2021

Four parents filed a lawsuit against the District of Columbia on Monday, alleging the district’s recently enacted law deprives parent’s constitutional rights and endangers children’s safety by allowing minors as young as 11 years old to get vaccinated without their parent’s consent or knowledge.

Facebook, White House Colluding on Censorship: Lawsuit
BY ZACHARY STIEBER July 20, 2021

Facebook is censoring Americans at the behest of President Joe Biden’s administration in violation of the First Amendment, a new lawsuit alleges.

As evidence of the collusion, the class-action complaint quotes White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s recent admission that the administration is “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”

“When she said that they were working with Big Tech then it changes everything because then it’s the government censoring, so that obviously can’t stand,” Richard Rogalinski, the plaintiff, told The Epoch Times.

Rogalinski made several posts about COVID-19 this year, including on April 6 remarking how he has seen data showing masks do not prevent the spread of the virus that causes the disease.

He has seen those posts appended with statements directing people to articles by so-called fact-checkers.

In one instance last month, Rogalinski posted an image of a tweet by Dr. David Samadi positing that “hydroxychloroquine worked this whole time.”

Hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug that has been around for decades, has shown some success against COVID-19 as both a treatment and prophylactic.

But Facebook hid the post from public view and deemed it “false information,” citing a USA Today article from July 2020 that claimed hydroxychloroquine is not effective in treating COVID-19.

“They’re fact checking me with articles that are a year before that aren’t even relevant,” Rogalinski said.

The USA Today article included studies that indicated hydroxychloroquine isn’t effective and others that suggest it does help in some scenarios, but focused on how the latter ones attracted criticism and downplayed them. Experts have told The Epoch Times that many of the studies were flawed.

More recent studies have also indicated that hydroxychloroquine can be effective, but only in some instances.

Facebook, under pressure last year, “formed a dogmatic narrative about COVID-19,” even as it became “the last bastions of public forum” amid widespread lockdowns, the suit charges.

The company in 2020 ramped up labeling posts and removing users for violations of its policies, including posts that supported the theory that the virus that causes COVID-19 was created in a laboratory. The company abruptly changed course on that matter in May.

The complaint argues that censorship of Rogalinski and others came at the direction of the White House, making it a First Amendment issue.

“At the direction of the President of the United States, his highest levels of staff members, and other Federal Government agencies and officials, the Defendant has engaged in a course of conduct to censor, limit and otherwise chill the Plaintiffs rights to free speech as they pertain to COVID-19,” it stated.

That relationship means Facebook can be sued as a state actor, it added.

“We see this as a slippery slope that the government is now involved in telling Facebook who to censor. I think Facebook and social media has traditionally said, ‘well, we’re a private company and so we can control what’s on our platform,'” Andrew Tapp, who is representing Rogalinski, told The Epoch Times.

“But what you’ve seen from the Biden administration is a material change to that position, because now you have the federal government engaged with these platforms, identifying not only content but specific people to censor, and I think you run down that authoritarian or that Chinese Communist Party approach to governance that, frankly, we are not set up for and most of the people that live here don’t approve of,” he added.

Facebook did not respond to a request for comment.

The suit was filed in federal court in Tampa, Florida. It was assigned to U.S. District Judge Steven Douglas Merryday, a George H.W. Bush nominee.

Larry Elder Sues California Secretary of State Over Decision to Keep Him Off Recall Election Ballot

Nice comment on that article:

I would say that this is, ironically, racial discrimination.
Yes, it’s because Larry Elder is conservative, but do you think that a white conservative would be kept off the ballot?
The left cannot stand black conservatives, as shown in Elder’s own movie about the subject.
They whine and cry about racism but display it regularly…these are the same people who brought us derogatory, racist terms like “whiteness”, “white fragility”, and “white anger” (terms created by and embraced by psychologists and sociologists who knew full well that they were insulting when they created them), but no matter how much they hate white conservatives, they hate black conservatives more.

Oh yeah? Keep following these lawsuits and discover just how corrupt our judicial system is. People forget.

Remember when Darius Sessoms shot and killed 5 year old Cannon Hinnant point black as he rode his bicycle?

Darius is still in court and hasn't been convicted yet. Pay attention when he finally is. Bet he gets less than 20 years, but we'll see.

There are too many judges to corrupt them all. I hope.

Federal Lawsuit Seeks Immediate Halt of COVID Vaccines, Cites Whistleblower Testimony Claiming CDC Is Under-Counting Vaccine Deaths
America’s Frontline Doctors filed a motion to stop the use of Emergency Use Authorization COVID vaccines for anyone under 18, anyone with natural immunity or anyone who hasn’t received informed consent. ...

The 67-page motion requests the judge issue a preliminary injunction pursuant to § 360bbb–3(b)(1)(C) for the following reasons:

There is no emergency, which is a prerequisite to issuing EUA and EUA renewals for COVID vaccines.
There is “no serious or life-threatening disease or condition.”
Vaccines do not diagnose, treat or prevent SARS-CoV-2 or COVID.
Known and potential risks of the vaccine outweigh their known and potential benefits.
There are adequate, approved and available alternatives to vaccines.
Healthcare professionals and vaccine candidates are not adequately informed.
The authors of the motion attached a declaration by a whistleblower who came forward alleging deaths occurring within 72 hours of receiving a COVID vaccine are significantly under-reported in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/brianne-dressen-injuries-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-senators-demand-answer/

On Feb. 4, 2020, HHS invoked the PREP Act when it declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. On Jan. 21, HHS amended the act, extending the liability shield to include additional categories of qualified persons authorized to prescribe, dispense and administer COVID-19 vaccines authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

In exchange for immunity for vaccine makers, under the PREP Act, the federal government pledged compensation for adverse reactions to COVID treatments and vaccines through a program called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), run by HHS.

As The Defender reported July 1, since the CICP program’s inception in 2010, only 29 claims have been paid, with an average payout of around $200,000. The other 452 claims (91.4%) were denied. Ten claims won approval but were deemed ineligible for compensation.

Only about 8% of people who applied to the CICP with vaccine injuries in the past received payouts, and there are no protections from the U.S. legal system.

It's wrong that the makers of the jab cannot be sued for the massive harm they are inflicting.

Why I’m Suing Over My Employer’s Vaccine Mandate
I have natural immunity, so there’s no justification for a coercive violation of my bodily autonomy.

In a few weeks I will begin my 24th year as a law professor at George Mason University. Last year I volunteered to teach in person, even though I’m in my 50s. Teaching law is my job and I owe my students my best. I also knew I could do it safely. During the spring of 2020 I contracted and recovered from Covid-19, which I later confirmed through a positive antibody test. Multiple positive antibody tests have since confirmed that I continue to have a robust level of immune protection.

But now my employer, a state institution, is requiring Covid vaccines. In my case, vaccination is unnecessary and potentially risky. My only other options are to teach remotely or to seek a medical exemption that would require me to wear a mask, remain socially distanced from faculty or students during, say, office hours, and submit to weekly testing.

It would be impossible for me to perform my duties to the best of my ability under such conditions. The administration has threatened those who don’t submit with disciplinary action, including termination of employment. This week the public-interest lawyers at the New Civil Liberties Alliance filed suit on my behalf, challenging the university’s mandatory vaccination requirement for those with naturally acquired immunity. This coercive mandate violates my constitutional right to bodily integrity for no compelling reason.

Clinical studies from Israel, the Cleveland Clinic, England and elsewhere have demonstrated beyond a doubt that natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 provides robust and durable protection against reinfection comparable to or better than that provided by the most effective vaccines.

Patrick says

Clinical studies from Israel,

Since when can or should trust anything from "Israel" = Zionist Terrorist Organization.

in this case, the study is showing that the vaxx which they forced on almost everyone is Israel is pointless for those who are already immune.

Hard to see a conspiracy behind something that reduces mandated Big Pharma profits.

About 1/2 the country MIGHT have been vaccinated. You think I go to work and try to convince the 5% that show up that they shouldn't get vaccinated and that this "pandemic" is all bullshit?

I talk to my NEIGHBORS about it..

You want to get an experimental drug with a completely new, and untested technology? I wouldn't recommend it, I'll say this HERE, but I'm not going to say it at work. What I would say at work if a coworker made a point to tell me they were vaccinated would be "Oh? Early adopter then!"

If they are a competent engineer, they will know exactly what I mean by that statement, if they don't, well, maybe they're too gullible to live. Never get the first version of any product.

I won't lie, but I'll let people be misdirected if they wish to be.

I've been fully vaccinated of course, but of course, I might have a different definition of "fully vaccinated". I was entirely immunized when I was 5.

Vaccine Mandate in Ecuador Province Defeated by Legal Action
BY AUTUMN SPREDEMANN August 25, 2021

A grassroots organization defeated a government-backed COVID-19 vaccine mandate in Ecuador’s Loja Province on Aug 5.

On July 6, the Emergency Operations Committee (EOC), which is a crisis response branch of Ecuador’s state-level government, released a decree mandating COVID-19 vaccines for province residents over 16 years of age by Aug. 9.

The decree, which came as a shock to residents, imposed restrictions on unvaccinated individuals, including entry into government buildings, bill payment locations, banks, restaurants and other areas of daily commerce.

Nick Vasey, the founder of Human Rights Ecuador, spoke to The Epoch Times about the steps his organization took before the mandate went into effect.

“You had to extrapolate the real end result of all this,” Vasey said. “They [EOC] gave the Ecuadorian community zero time to respond to their decree and planned to steamroll the population.”

Human Rights Ecuador is a Loja-based group that promotes medical freedom.

Vasey’s lawyer filed injunction paperwork against the EOC on July 30. The lawyer then scheduled a meeting for Aug. 3 with the Loja Ombudsman’s office. This proved to be a critical step since the provincial ombudsman could override the measure put forward by the EOC. Consequently, the Loja Ombudsman’s office released a statement on Aug. 5 dismissing the vaccine mandate on the grounds of it being “unconstitutional.”

Vasey added, “There was formidable and constitutionally binding human rights opposition to the proposed measure.”

Ecuador’s Constitution guarantees citizens the right of refusal and treats all citizens without distinction of political ideology, socio-economic or cultural condition as equal before the law. Human Rights Ecuador claims on its website that the proposed vaccine mandate is also contrary to the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, which takes precedence over local regulations under Article 425 of Ecuador’s constitution.

On Aug. 5, the Constitutional Court of Ecuador ruled against extending the state of emergency in the provinces of Guayaquil and El Oro, which was originally requested by President Guillermo Lasso’s government. The newly elected President Lasso took office on May 24 of this year and claimed he would vaccinate 9 million people in the first 100 days of his administration. However, without the extended state of emergency, the EOC lacks the administrative power to push COVID-19 vaccines.

Vasey asserted that Loja was just the proving ground for a vaccine mandate program being drafted by different state governments, of which Guayaquil is likely to be the next.
