Jack Thompson Sues Facebook

Submitted by Richard Windsor on October 1, 2009 – 10:25 amComments

Since Jack Thompson was disbarred, god I love saying that, he has been relatively quiet in the gaming world. But that has not stopped the round the clock hatred gamers have for the man. It seems there are quite a few Facebook groups dedicated to making Jack Thompson look like an ass. If you ask me he does a better job on his own then any of us could do.

Since he’s no longer a lawyer and probably needs the cash, he has decided to sue Facebook for not taking down all the negative material about him. Knowing Jack he probably just wants a reasonable sum for all the mental anguish…wrong! This dip wants 40 million! I know that most lawsuits start with an unreasonable sum in order to try and get a settlement, but Jack has no idea what he is up against. The U.S. Communications Decency Act clearly states that online services like Facebook have no responsibility for content created by its users. So I expect that this new lawsuit will be just as successful as all his prior ones…(giggle).
