A former Mixed Martial Arts fighter sued Facebook Inc. for kicking him off the platform over posts in which he blamed vaccines for his son’s death.

Nick Catone says the social network’s decision to delete his account violated his free speech and is destroying his business, a gym in New Jersey that he promoted and advertised on Facebook.
