The Thomas More Society is defending a pro-life Florida woman who is suing<\/a> Google for deplatforming her without explanation and keeping her data.<\/p>\n

The attorney group is representing 76-year-old Trudy Perez-Poveda in her lawsuit against Google in a trial court in Jacksonville, Florida. Perez-Poveda argues that without explanation, Google deplatformed her an hour after she emailed members of her pro-life group in September to join her for a peaceful Catholic Mass and prayer gathering in front of A Woman’s Choice, an abortion business in Jacksonville. Google then refused to allow her access to more than 11 years of her stored emails, photographs, calendars, contacts, and other data.<\/p>\n

According to the legal group, this lawsuit appears to be the first of its kind in seeking to enforce portions of Florida’s anti-censorship law since it was challenged at the U.S. Supreme Court in Moody v. Net Choice<\/em>. That law prohibits large social media companies from censoring or deplatforming private users without immediately and thoroughly explaining why.<\/p>\n

Perez-Poveda has been in the news<\/a> before for her pro-life efforts<\/a>, and was once shoved<\/a> to the ground by a 19-year-old patient of A Woman’s Choice after allegedly taking photos of cars coming to the facility. The teen was charged with battery on a person over 65.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople ask me what it felt like when Google abruptly shut me down.\u00a0My reply is, \u2018It felt like coming home to a house, which took me twelve years to furnish with family mementos and treasures, and find it completely\u00a0empty<\/em> without even a note explaining why,'” said Perez-Poveda, who volunteers with Family for Life, a pro-life group described as a group of “persons who pray, counsel and sometimes hold Catholic Mass and Eucharistic processions near abortion clinics.”<\/p>\n

She demanded an explanation from Google, and a representative told her that her account was permanently disabled for violating the company’s acceptable use policy. However, as seen in court documentation<\/a>, Google refused to state which acceptable use policies she had violated, stating<\/a> only, “Due to security reasons we are unable to share the exact policy which was violated.” Then the Thomas More Society, a national public interest law firm, issued a legal demand for information from Google on Perez-Poveda’s behalf, but Google allegedly failed to respond.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an ominous growth of censorship in this country,” said Thomas More Society Senior Counsel Matt Heffron. “Large social-media companies act as a \u2018digital public square,\u2019 and play a central role in the debate of ideas. Our case, Trudy v. Google<\/em>, is part of the urgent and overdue pushback against this rising tide of censorship. Nobody should be treated the way Google treated Trudy Perez. She is a delightful person: humorous, warm, peaceful, prayerful, and absolutely persistent. Thomas More Society is proud to be fighting for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
