The suit seeks a court order that would force the social media giant to remove posts calling for violence as well as posts by militia groups and hate groups. “Facebook's inaction led to the death of two protesters, in addition to the harm suffered by Plaintiffs,” the lawsuit states. The Kenosha Guard removed its post the day after the shootings and Facebook took down the militia group's entire page later that day, Buzzfeed reported. She said she watched Huber die and suffered threats and insults from members of the Kenosha Guard and the Boogaloo Bois, an anti-government extremist group. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has apologized for allowing the Kenosha Guard’s post, calling it an “operational mistake,” the lawsuit said.
