Jack Thompson Suing Facebook for $40 Million

October 1, 2009

Jack Thompson, a well known critic of the video game industry, is suing Facebook for $40M, claiming that the social networking site harmed him by not removing angry postings made by Facebook gamers. He filed a claim last Tuesday with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Thompson is known for brining a suit against the makers of the video game Grand Theft Auto, as well as Sony Computer Entertainment America, and Wal-Mart. In the suit he argued that Grand Theft Auto caused violent behavior. Following the suits dismissal, Thompson’s critics have accused him of being a frivolous lawyer.
