A frivolous lawsuit which only purpose is to serve red meat to the base. Don’t be shocked when this gets laughed out of court.
The best thing is how those Twitter accounts are doubling their followers over this. THere's some pretty funny stuff.This is hilarious! Nunes doesn’t like a Twitter account comparing him to a cow so he sues for $250 million?! He is no longer allowed to use the term snowflake what a joke!And it begins. I predict this will be just the first of a flood of lawsuits against these internet media companies. They brought it on themselves.
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."
I head the cow account went from 1k to 200k followers... that’s utterly amoooozing!The best thing is how those Twitter accounts are doubling their followers over this.

You're constantly defending the big government statists. That's an easy way to identify them.A frivolous lawsuit which only purpose is to serve red meat to the base. Don’t be shocked when this gets laughed out of court.
It also serves the purpose of identifying the big government statist

I believe it has to do with opportunity. everyone must have equal opportunity. and social media doesn't get to delete someone's post over someone elses because they said so. They are not a journalistic licensed company. and that is the reason for the lawsuit. They must declare who they are and pay the correct license.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.
I'm not familiar with the case. But I do know the Enquirer and they are not social media. Nobody has a right to participate on Twitter like nobody has a right to participate in USMB. I've even heard of YouTube (now owned by Google) doing similar things.
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.

Dims are 1000 times worse. They are utterly unscrupulous.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".
