Nunes sues Twitter, some users, seeks over $250M alleging anti-conservative 'shadow bans,' smears​

California GOP Rep. Devin Nunes filed a major lawsuit seeking $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages against Twitter and a handful of its users on Monday, accusing the social media site of "shadow-banning conservatives" including himself to influence the 2018 elections, systematically censoring opposing viewpoints and totally "ignoring" lawful complaints of repeated abusive behavior.

In a complaint filed in Virginia state court on Monday, obtained by Fox News, Nunes said Twitter was guilty of "knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform."

Although federal law ordinarily exempts services like Twitter from defamation liability, Nunes' suit said the platform has taken such an active role in curating and banning content that it should face liability like any other organization that defames.

"Twitter created and developed the content at issue in this case by transforming false accusations of criminal conduct, imputed wrongdoing, dishonesty and lack of integrity into a publicly available commodity used by unscrupulous political operatives and their donor/clients as a weapon," Nunes' legal team wrote. "Twitter is 'responsible' for the development of offensive content on its platform because it in some way specifically encourages development of what is offensive about the content." ​

Nunes will find out the disposition of his case from his prison cell.

It's not like the Democrats think any differently. Not long ago they were talking about re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine. Recently the DNC forbade Fox from hosting any of the Democrat primaries.

For once I agree with you, the Dems are no better. yet so many people will vote for one or the other because it is somehow "less evil".

Dims are 1000 times worse. They are utterly unscrupulous.

both sides are utterly unscrupulous, both sides put their party before the country. both sides do not give a fuck about you or me.

Bullshit.

keep telling yourself that, I am sure it helps you sleep at night. that is the purpose of fairy tales after all.

Nobody's listening to me, I'm going to sue you assholes!

ROFL! Why would Nunes be going to prison?

What a fucking crybaby.

Nobody's hearing him because he's getting muted and leftists are getting amplified on the platform. If anyone is allegedly free to join and speak their piece and from America, that's bullshit!

You can't sue anybody for not letting you post to their forum. It's no different than USMB who removes posts or kills them.

Twitter is a private company and has plenty of competition, so it's not really a monopoly. They can allow or disallow anybody they desire for any reason they desire. This suit will be a complete waste of money for them.

The National Enquire is a private company as well, but that isn't stopping democrats from tying to go after Pecker for buying stories to not publish.

Different situation. Campaign finance laws have very real consequences. Of which first amendment protections do not shield you from.

It's progress. This Nunes lawsuit and the Covington kid's lawsuit is progress. I'm not sure the Deripaska lawsuit will get anywhere though??

None of these lawsuits will go anywhere, because the people are bringing this on themselves. The Covington Kid's lawsuit has absolutely no hope of succeeding.

That's entirely different than this lawsuit. They may not get the money they're asking for, but the media just can't report lies about somebody and get away with it. Then of course there's the commentary after it by various outlets.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Facebook's gonna get it from the left, and Twitter's gonna get it from the right.

Will anybody tackle Google?

It has nothing to do with campaign finance laws, shit for brains.

It's the way we've been voting for a long time now. Nothing wrong with it. Voting to keep the worst out of power is patriotic. Voting for somebody that stands zero chance at winning is a complete waste of time.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Anyone notice that this action by Nunes coincided with more Trump tweets threatening FaceBook this time?

Seems this the GOP strategy for 2020, attack the 1st amendment

It's not like the Democrats think any differently. Not long ago they were talking about re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine. Recently the DNC forbade Fox from hosting any of the Democrat primaries.

The Fairness Doctrine only applied to stations who broadcast across public airwaves and never covered other forms of media like newspapers and magazines. Just Radio and Television. It died before the Internet. It made sense at the time. With the West's eclectic options for news, it no longer does.

Case gets thrown out.

Thrown out by whom? It was the law of the land until Reagan got rid of it. Doesn't mean the Democrats can't bring it back if they ever get full power of the government again.

Can't go anywhere, Twitter is a private company and can refuse service to whomever they please.

You kids probably should have baked those gay wedding cakes, then you might have a leg to stand on.

That is, until the DOJ goes after them for violating the Sherman anti-trust act.

They aren't a monopoly.

Excerpt from the Linkedin page of Liz Mair, one of the defendants:

"Mair Strategies is a boutique online, strategic, crisis and political communications firm with deep expertise in opposition research development, formulation and seeding.

We anonymously smear our clients' opponents on the Internet.

We get sh*t done."

Nunes is going to win this case, big time.

LoL, good luck with that.
