Florida Republican Congressional Candidate Laura Loomer has been given the go-ahead to sue Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter for violating her First Amendment rights to free speech.

Now, a D.C. District court has given the go-ahead for the lawsuit to continue.

Loomer filed suit against the Internet giants last year after they canceled her from social media, banned her from advertising, and generally shut her out of the Internet.

Since becoming a candidate for congress, Loomer has maintained that her rights are being violated. But a lower court shut her lawsuit down last year.

The suit was tossed out by U.S. District Judge Trever N. McFadden who said that, “while selective censorship of the kind alleged by the plaintiffs may be antithetical to the American tradition of freedom of speech, it is not actionable under the First Amendment unless perpetrated by a state actor.”

Loomer’s legal team cited Packingham v. North Carolina, a case brought by a convicted sexual predator who maintained that he could not be banned from social media based on his past crimes.

“Many of the principles set forth by the Supreme Court in Packingham lead to what appellants believe is the natural progression of the law to hold that social media companies are liable for First Amendment violations, given the progression of technology and its infiltration into the daily lives of nearly every single person,” said Loomer’s team, conservative legal group Freedom Watch.

Loomer’s social media accounts were shut down because she is an outspoken conservative activist.

Facebook, for instance, called Loomer “dangerous.”

Facebook banned Loomer’s account from their platform during a purge of popular conservative voices that happened in May. Others targeted by the purge included Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson. Loomer is striking back with a lawsuit that is unearthing some interesting revelations about the social media monolith. “Under well-established law, neither Facebook nor any other publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone else’s message,” Facebook’s attorneys wrote. Facebook actually has the audacity to claim that their 1st Amendment rights are being violated by Loomer’s lawsuit, in a total contorting of reality. They have filed a motion to dismiss the case. “She claims Facebook labeled her as a ‘dangerous’ person who promotes hate – yet, the First Amendment has long protected such statements because they are opinions that are not capable of being proven true or false,” Facebook’s attorneys claim in their dismissal motion.

Despite that Loomer is an official candidate for the U.S. House in Florida’s 21st Congressional District, her accounts have not been restored.
