Sowore Drags DSS, Meta, X To Court Over Social Media Censorship

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has taken legal action against the DSS, Meta (formerly Facebook), and X (formerly Twitter) at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Sowore's lawsuit challenges what he describes as unconstitutional censorship of his social media accounts, seeking to prevent the DSS from directing platforms to delete his posts critical of political figures.

The lawsuit emphasizes the importance of free speech and the right to express political criticism without interference from security agencies, citing constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression in Nigeria.
