PragerU Files New Lawsuit Against Google

Conservative non-profit group PragerU has filed a second lawsuit against Google, accusing the company of censoring conservative viewpoints by “engaging in unlawful, misleading, and unfair businesses practices.”

Fox News reports that the conservative non-profit group PragerU – founded by radio host Dennis Prager and which produces short informative videos on conservative topics — has filed another lawsuit against Google, accusing the search engine and its video hosting subsidiary YouTube of censorship of conservative viewpoints. A lawsuit was filed against the firm in the Superior Court in the State of California last Tuesday.

The suit claims: “This lawsuit is ‘round two’ of the parties’ dispute over whether Google/YouTube are above the law when it comes to regulating free speech and expression on YouTube solely because Defendants are private entities who own and operate YouTube for their own profit and commercial gain.”

The suit alleges that both Google and YouTube are violating California law in four ways, including unlawfully restraining free speech in violation of the state’s constitution and discriminating against the conservative non-profit based on political, religious, “or other discriminatory animus” in violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.
