The popular question-and-answer site Quora is facing a lawsuit over its censorship of retired Palestinian-American professor Rima Najjar. Quora permanently banned Dr. Najjar in May 2019 after website administrators claimed using the term ‘Zionist’ in a negative way was “hate speech.” Dr. Najjar attempted unsuccessfully to resolve the matter directly with Quora, and filed a lawsuit against Quora on December 31 for discriminating against her on the basis of national origin.
