A former Kentucky lawyer has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, accusing it of committing fraud by suppressing his posts containing conservative viewpoints.
Eric Deters, a former lawyer in Ohio and Northern Kentucky, is an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump and filed his lawsuit after he said he discovered that his posts werent being properly displayed to the public.
Facebooks so-called community standards are NOT community standards, Deters wrote in his lawsuit, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. They are WOKE, liberal progressive standards that are NOT consistent with the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky tristate community....
Fun facts:
-Joe Biden carried Hamilton County by 7%. Some counties in Northern Kentucky voted for Biden over trump as well.
-Kentucky revoked his license to practice law and the Kentucky Supreme Court will not reinstate it.
-Eric Deters plays the victim card a lot.

(131,240 posts)He's retired now, but maybe not entirely voluntarily, considering his history:
The Supreme Court ruled that retired Cincinnati lawyer Eric Deters provided case-specific legal advice to clients of his former law firm.
In addition to the fine, the court ordered Deters not to engage in further acts of the unauthorized practice of law.
This isn't the first time that the former attorney has been in the spotlight.
In 2020, a judge signed an order, banning Deters from the Hamilton County Courthouse after he threatened to burn it down, according to a Hamilton County judge.
Also in 2013, Deters was suspended by the bar for misconduct and ethics violations on two occasions. He appealed one suspension to the Kentucky Supreme Court. Later in 2014, the Ohio Supreme Court also echoed Kentucky's in its decision to suspend Deters' license to practice law for 60 days. Deters was also arrested in 2014 for failing to appear to court on a traffic charge.
