Kenosha riots Facebook getting sued

Several residents of Kenosha, Wis., are accusing Facebook of allowing its platform to be used by right-wing militias to commit violence in the city last month during demonstrations against the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
BuzzFeed News reported that a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court alleges that Facebook's platform “empowered right wing militias to inflict extreme violence and deprive Plaintiffs and protestors of their rights” by allowing the militias to recruit members and plan operations.
The four plaintiffs include three Kenosha residents and one activist from Milwaukee who traveled to Kenosha to march with a church group, according to BuzzFeed. One of the plaintiffs is the partner of an individual who was fatally shot during the protests, allegedly by 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of Illinois. LINK

Rittenhouse being able to organize is separate from a dumbfrick trying to hit a guy holding a rifle using a skateboard.

I don't like that they are referencing right wing groups, but I do like the possibility of Facebook being found liable for riot organizations recruiting members and planning operations. That would be an incredible precedent!

Shouldn't the Kenosha police department be on the hook for letting any of this get out of hand?

Elected city officials probably ordered them to stand down.

The right was the ones rioting there?

Incredibly horrible precedent.
If Facebook is liable, why wouldn't AT&T or Verizon be liable for their service being used to organize, etc?
Do you want EVERY SERVICE doing close monitoring to make sure you're not causing trouble so they avoid liability?
Thankfully, this should be shot down with the quickness.
