SISTER OF SLAIN OFFICER SAYS FACEBOOK SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR HIS DEATH
Two anti-government extremists have been charged with the shooting death of Angela Underwood Jacobs’ brother. But she says Facebook is also responsible.
Jacobs has filed a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, claiming that the platform’s recommendation algorithms led the alleged killers toward extremist content, suggested they join the same group, and gave them a chance to coordinate their deadly actions online. The suit challenges a controversial 26-year-old law that protects social media companies from liability for user posts.
Speaking exclusively with CBS Morning’s co-anchor Tony Dokoupil, Underwood Jacobs said her brother, federal Officer Pat Underwood, would still be alive today if it wasn’t for Facebook. FULL STORY HERE

It appears that Facebook is censoring your post. I see 10 comments, but they are blank. Strange that the article says that a far right group was soliciting violence against police. Far right are in favor of law enforcement, generally. Anyone can post a site and claim to be a anything they want. Seems strange that a federal official did not pick up on this. Smells funny.
