The Supreme Court turned down an appeal by conservative commentator Candace Owens over Facebook’s so-called fact checks that described her posts about COVID-19 as “false” and a “hoax.”

The court provided no reasons for its Oct. 3 decision denying the petition in Owens v. Lead Stories LLC (court file 21-1474). Gannett Satellite Information Network, which does business as USA Today, was also a respondent in the case. Facebook, owned by Meta Platforms, wasn’t a party in the case.
