Overview

• Loomer sought to revive claims that Meta, X and advertisers conspired to deplatform her and violated racketeering laws during her 2020 and 2022 congressional campaigns.
• A federal judge in California dismissed the suit and the 9th Circuit affirmed, finding no plausible RICO enterprise and citing Section 230 and prior related litigation.
• Meta and X waived their right to respond at the Supreme Court, and the justices rejected the petition without calling for briefing.
• Loomer told the Court the bans hindered her ability to reach voters, raise money and compete during pandemic-era campaigning.
• Justice Samuel Alito recused from the matter, and Procter & Gamble, also named in the case, waived a response.
