2d 1110, is a pro se internet law case in which the plaintiff sued the social network Facebook following the termination of her user account.

[3] Karen Beth Young of Maryland created an account on Facebook in February 2010 in order to connect with friends, family, and strangers.

Young argued that Facebook deprived her of equal protection under the law by terminating her account, and she sought to state this claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

[8] The court agreed and stated "while these provisions place restrictions on users' behavior, they do not create affirmative obligations".

[2] Young claimed that Facebook broke the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by failing to provide the adequate safety services it advertised and by ultimately deactivating the account without "human interaction".

[1] Facebook claimed that it never agreed to provide safety services and that the covenant of good faith could not alter that fact.

[2] The plaintiff amended her complaint to include claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and related state laws.

[3] Eric Goldman, an internet law professor at Santa Clara University, noted that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act could well apply to at least some of Young's claims from the second complaint.
