The law won?

Money, that's what they want...

 While Donald Trump is just one of a myriad of political problems with Facebook (including that Mark Zuckerberg just might be a closet fascist himself), I have to wonder (and I say this obviously as a layman and not a lawyer) how much their decision this week to continue the ban of Trump from their social media site was based on fears of legal liability if Trump were restored and more Americans were killed as a result of his blubbering, as happened to the five people killed at the armed insurrection in our nation's capital on January 6th.

I have to imagine that there are any number of law firms in America who were already having preliminary discussions as to future lawsuits against Trump should he kill more Americans with his hate speech as Trump was already responsible for five deaths and hasn't shown the slightest remorse for his actions (and four of the five who died were Trump supporters--not someone you'd want in a foxhole with you).  It's not like Facebook could argue they didn't know.

It probably wouldn't be pretty--especially if those killed happened to be Democrats.  Trump's adversaries do not worship the twit and likely would be more than happy to sue for sizable, and winnable, amounts.

If nothing else, it surely has to be food for thought for both Facebook's and America's lawyers.
