Jack Thompson VS. Facebook
Charge: Allowing anti-Thompson groups to post messages that have caused me great harm and distress
Facebook enables violent groups to conduct personal propoganda against me and allowing insidious material to remain on the website, such as the user group "Jack Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600" and another that offers $50 to anyone who punches the former attorney in the face. Although I twice sent a fax to Facebook CEO those groups are still active and causing me a great harm and distress.

 Facebook's treatment with that of US President Barack Obama poll asking if the country's commander-in-chief should be assassinated was removed from the social website as soon as the company found out about it. They should have done the same in Thompson's case.

 Plaintiff has shown repeated efforts to begin court cases regarding various issues, file documents which were overbolown, filled with conspiracy theories, outright lies, and deceit. Once the cases began, Plaintiff would send out multiple, publically announced (such as on blogs, in emails, and to various unrelated news articles) "Press Releases" and emails/letters to various public officials and indivdiuals, usually filled with more overblown claims and even false claims about the cases themselves. After a short time, sometimes as little as a week, other times, a month or more, during which more documents are filed filled with the same above rediculous content, Plaintiff would have the case Voluntarily Dismissed, claiming various conspiracy theories, including that the court itself was out to do him harm. Evidence of these prior cases exist in various court dockets available to the general public and the various "Press Releases", etc, are found all over the internet.

 Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act specifically states that web sites and internet service providers shall not be held liable for any content placed on web sites by users of that site. Even if the web site in question is notified of harmful or defamatory content, they are under no obligation to remove it if the site owner did not place it there (i.e. a comment on a message board). With this in mind, Thompson has no viable complaint against Facebook.

 Plaintiff was disbarred from law practice in 2007 for just these types of antics. Plaintiff could have simply used the "report group" function on the page, and the group responsible for such things would have investigated, and if required, removed the group. In addition, Defendant does have rights under the 1st Amendment of Freedom of Speech, and whereas Thompson is a self-avowed public figure, such rights are less restricting than if he was a private figure. Plaintiff opened himself up to such comments by his outrageous actions over many years of his now ended law career.

 Plaintiff has also argued on many occassions that opponents to his views should not be allowed to speak on similar grounds yet he, himself, has made many offensive, false, and bigotted claims and, violating various rules of conduct on various public forums on the internt, has referred to anyone holding HIM to those rules as "fascists" and denying him HIS Freedom of Speech. On at least one occassion, Plaintiff even stated that a group of individuals who publically oppossed his views he would support legally having put to death.

 the Obama thing dealed with death to an important public figure, Thompson's case didn't deal with death in the slightest. Plus, the Obama poll was properly reported, unlike the Thompson groups at the time. When asked about using the "report group" link, Thompson responded by calling the asker a "total moron"
