Lawsuit Filed Against Jagex For Muting A Player Is Dismissed Just Five Days After It Was Filed

Jagex and parent company Shanghai Fukong for allegedly muting him without reason.

In his lawsuit filed in a Pennsylvania Court, Elansari claimed that the studio refused to explain why he was muted and denied his request for an appeal which allegedly violated his human rights and his right to due process and free speech.

Unsurprisingly, the lawsuit was summarily dismissed just five days after it was filed. According to MMO Fallout and the full legal documentation of the case, Judge Kearney ruled that Elansari’s allegations were “implausible” and that the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause only applies to government institutions and not private entities.

In addition, Elansari will not be able to make any further federal or constitutional claims but he may file state charges in a state court if he chooses to do so.
