Tulsi Gabbard Looses To Google
b'Tulsi Gabbard lost a lawsuit she filed against Google when U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Wilson ruled Gabbard had no valid claim that Google violated the 1st Amendment because Google is a private company, not a governmental agency. Gabbard\\u2019s campaign was trying to argue Google should be considered a \\u201cstate actor\\u201d, the equivalent of a government or government department and thus subject to the free speech protections guaranteed in the First Amendment.
\\u201cGoogle is not now, nor (to the Court\\u2019s knowledge) has it ever been, an arm of the United States government,\\u201d Wilson wrote. He dismissed the complaint with prejudice, which means it\\u2019s over. Gabbard can\\u2019t regroup and try another line of similar argument.\\n\\nSupport this podcast at \\u2014 https://redcircle.com/webcology/donations\\n\\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands\\n\\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy'
