Meta Platforms defeated an appeal by Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group founded by Robert F Kennedy Jr, challenging its censorship of Facebook posts that spread misinformation about vaccines' efficacy and safety.

 

In a decision on Friday, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena, California, said the nonprofit did not show that Meta worked with or was coerced by federal officials to suppress views challenging "government orthodoxy" on vaccines.

...

Circuit Judge Eric Miller, appointed to the court by Republican former President Donald Trump, wrote for the appeals court that Meta was a "purely private" company with a First Amendment right not to use its platform to promote views it found distasteful.

...

Friday's decision upheld a June 2021 ruling by US District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco.
