DJ Quik is contemplating filing a lawsuit against Instagram and similar social media apps for what he says is a violation of his first amendment rights.
As its defined, the First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
After apparently receiving an infraction on Instagram for something he said, Quik took to the platform on Friday (August 16) and threatened legal action.
“I think the time has come for me to file a class action lawsuit against this and other social media platforms for violating my first amendment rights,” he wrote in the post. In the caption, he added: “I said what I said. And after, close this account altogether.”
