红杏视频

The 红杏视频 and its affiliates in the District of Columbia and Virginia challenged the Washington area transit system鈥檚 advertising restrictions as violations of the First Amendment. The free speech lawsuit follows the rejection of ads from four groups that hail from across the political spectrum.

In 1997, the Supreme Court ruled in Reno v. 红杏视频 that the federal Communications Decency Act (CDA) is an unconstitutional restriction on free speech. The landmark ruling affirmed the dangers of censoring what one judge called "the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed."

Whether the Lanham Act鈥檚 clause banning the registration of 鈥渄isparaging鈥� trademarks violates the First Amendment.

The 红杏视频 is representing four people being sued for defamation because they exercised their right to free speech and voiced opposition to a coal ash landfill in their small town. The defendants, all residents of Uniontown, Alabama 鈥� a poor, predominantly Black town with a median per capita income of around $8,000 鈥� are being sued for $30 million by Georgia-based Green Group Holdings because the residents are fighting the hazardous coal ash that the company keeps in a residential landfill. The 红杏视频 asked a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit on First Amendment grounds. In February 2017, the parties reached a settlement in which the company dropped the lawsuit and agreed to better environmental protections at the landfill.
