More of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Don’t Moderate Me, Bro ’ cases are Laughed Out Of Court .

RFK Jr. is mad that social media companies keep moderating or limiting the spread of his dangerous anti-vax nonsense.

Judge William Orrick has rejected his request for a preliminary injunction against Meta Platforms .

The plaintiffs’ theory is that Meta and the government colluded or acted jointly, or the government coerced Meta , to remove content related to Kennedy ’s 2024 presidential campaign.

The Supreme Court has explained why it does not support that theory.

The plaintiffs fail to show likelihood of success on the merits, or serious questions going to the merits.

Their First Amendment claim accordingly fails at step two of the state action inquiry.

Section 11(b ) provides a private right of action for Person A where Person B has intimidated, threatened, or coerced Person A “for urging or aiding any person to vote.” RFK Jr. also sued Google/YouTube over its moderation efforts.

The Ninth Circuit also upheld a lower court ruling on that case last month .
