High-profile conservative Candace Owens has announced she's filing a lawsuit against the third-party fact-checkers used by Facebook who censored her account this past August, according to Just The News.
Owens said Facebook issued a strike against a video she shared of a doctor talking about COVID-19.
''They said only information that they agree with about COVID-19 ... was acceptable," Owens said.
Owens' account was also demonetized, which will keep her from making money on her page.
"It is time to fact-check the fact-checkers," Owens said in a video. ''I think the fact-checkers are cowards. I think [Facebook CEO] Mark Zuckerberg is a coward, and I love that I am on his platform raising money to go after his fact-checkers.''
