U.S. Court Has Ruled That Being Muted in a Game Doesn’t Violate Civil Rights



The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has shot down a gamer?s claims that his civil rights were violated when a developer muted him in an online video game without giving him a reason.
Pennsylvania resident Amro Elansari took Runescape developer Jagex Inc to court over the issue, and claimed that he has the right to free speech. He felt that Jagex?s violations fell under ?Discrimination ? Business ? Public Space,? ?Free Speech/Expression/Culture? and ?Due Process ? Adverse Action ? Notification Breach of Contract.?
