The former crusader against violent video games alleges that the popular social networking site is responsible for allowing its members to form anti-Thompson groups that threaten his safety.
There's certainly no shortage of groups on Facebook in opposition to Thompson -- hundreds, in fact -- but it's unlikely that the court will side with Thompson's arguments. Even though some of the group messages contain some vaguely threatening statements (and one is actually named "Jack Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600"), the U.S. Communications Decency Act typically exempts services like Facebook from being held responsible for the actions of its users.
