Jack Thompson sues Facebook for $120 million over user hate group

Jack Thompson the lawyer who is always making the headlines for his protests about violence video games is attempting to sue Facebook for $120 million. The lawsuit is claiming that Facebook failed to supervise their site as Jack Thompson hate group has been set up by users of the popular social networking website.

    Facebook Inc., the world’s most popular social-networking Web site, was accused in a lawsuit of letting site users post violent threats against a lawyer who was later disbarred.

    Plaintiff Jack Thompson said the postings started after the CBS news show “60 Minutes” aired its interview with him in 2006 as a crusader against video game violence, according to the complaint he filed Sept. 29 in federal court in Miami. The games influence players to 'borrow' cars and shoot people, he says. Thompson sued some of the game makers before the Florida Supreme Court disbarred him as an attorney in 2008, according to court records.

    Facebook users started an “I Hate Jack Thompson” group, according to the lawsuit. The complaint cites a posting that said “Jack Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600.” Thompson included images of the Facebook postings in the lawsuit.

    Thompson claims intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress and failure to supervise the site, and seeks at least $120 million in damages.
