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

[yes, yes it is. Does not matter if they are big corporations or a tiny site like this one. they should have the freedom to run their business as they see fit. but statist like you will never let that happen if they can help it
Yet again, another left-wing statist asshat who insists that people cannot refuse service to homosexuals wants to cry “FREEDOM to run their business” when it comes to oppressing the only side actually defending freedom.

Hey Gulping...why don’t you try telling everyone again how taxes are only paid in April. :lmao:
 
can't wait until that's declared about guns & mass shootings...
Good luck with that. :lmao:

There is 0 chance that will ever happen. We have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms - and that trumps the powers of any “national emergency”. The United States military would immediately turn on any administration that tried that. And not a single firearm owner would comply.
I wish you were right, but I fear that people of that age are too brainwashed to resist authority.
 
The Donald destroy the rule of law in this country. He's also a fuckin' liar!
The Dumbocrats destroyed the rule of law and you know it. It was MaObama who proudly declared “if Congress won’t act, I have a phone and a pen”. The Donald has restored the rule of law in this country. Amazing that that pisses you off.
oh yea rule of law restored...

1) Trump has repeatedly attempted to interfere in the Russia investigation, and admitted as much—that’s a clear case of obstructing justice.

2) Because Trump never divested from his business interests, he violates the Constitution every time the Trump Organization has business dealings with foreign or American government officials.

3) Trump tried to cover up his campaign’s contacts with a Russian national—which, at very least, constituted a violation of federal law.

4) Trump has demonstrated a pattern of behavior amounting to advocating violence, undercutting equal protection, and, as a result, failing basic Constitutional duties.

5) Trump’s pardon of Joe Arpaio violates the Fifth Amendment and harms the guarantee of Constitutional rights.

6) Trump cannot be permitted to recklessly and needlessly endanger millions of Americans with his unstable behavior.

7) Trump’s threats against political opponents are threats against American democracy.

8) Trump’s threats against freedom of the press are also threats against American democracy.

9) Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values.

10) Trump committed at least two felonies to illegally cheat his way into office.

Do you make this stuff up as you go along, or do you write it out first? How about a link of at least two of the items on your list?

Trump never interfered with any investigation. He had the constitutional right to fire Comey, and the only regret I have is that he didn't do it sooner. That's not obstruction because the investigation continued, and he never fired Mueller.

Trump handed over his businesses to his son who currently runs them, and he never had any campaign contracts with anybody from Russia. What constitutional rights did Trump violate by a pardon? Would you like me to give you a list of pardons from Clinton? You know.....Marc Rich and such? Arpaio wasn't a fugitive from the law hiding out in another country. Immigrants have no constitutional rights in the US. And they have limited rights if they cross our border. Invaders are not protected by the US Constitution, and the document charges our representatives with the responsibility to protect this country from them.

All 10 of these items are detailed here.
Have at it.

A fox news poll says most think Trump interfered with investigation. And Barr is helping.

Trump admits to emoluments violations; wants the case thrown out.
 
Congresman Nunes’ pussy-aching lawsuit is going to get laughed out of court. Bet the farm on it.
 
1) Trump has repeatedly attempted to interfere in the Russia investigation, and admitted as much—that’s a clear case of obstructing justice.
Holy shit...that egregious lie was just thoroughly debunked by the exhaustive Mueller investigation in a report released just 24 hours ago and already you’re going back to that idiotic and desperate lie? :eusa_doh:

Tell me - were you born an asshole or did it take you many years of dedication to the craft to finally master becoming an asshole?
 
Because Trump never divested from his business interests, he violates the Constitution every time the Trump Organization has business dealings with foreign or American government officials.
Do us a favor sparky. Don’t ever mention the U.S. Constitution. You’re too ignorant of the document - that you have never read - to mention it. That’s an insult.

Hitlery Clinton violated the Emoluments Clause. President Trump hasn’t come even remotely close to violating it. You’re a fuck’n moron. Truly. He is not required to “divest” in any capacity. That’s not what the Emoluments Clause is about, you dumb dillhole.
 
Yet again, another left-wing statist asshat who insists that people cannot refuse service to homosexuals wants to cry “FREEDOM to run their business” when it comes to oppressing the only side actually defending freedom.

Hey Gulping...why don’t you try telling everyone again how taxes are only paid in April. :lmao:

Actually dumbfuck I think anyone should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Anti-discrimination laws applied to anyone but the government are unconstitutional. I have been saying that for years and have said it my whole time on this forum. Do try and keep up.

And I never said people only pay taxes in April, that is just a fun little lie you tell because you were so embarrassed that you did not know some of us have to send a check to the government each year to cover what payroll deduction did not.
 
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."
win or lose doesn't really matter in this one.

it just has to be very expensive for the media that chooses to be 100% biased and/or pull stories out of their ass. given the nature of some of these stories and the legal mess that will have to be gone through, this is a very expensive juncture of our media today. we'll see if they calm or double down.

yep... it is a right. BUT it can have caveats... like banning military style assault weapons with high capacity multi rounds proven to be a health hazard & detrimental to the well being of society as a whole...

lest ye forget, freedom of speech is a right - but you can't yell 'fire!' in a crowded theater & one can get sued for using their speech ( slander)

freedom of the press - also a fundamental right - can be sued for libel.
 
"But Twitter is free." Not really. I'm giving them access to my data, which they are (trying to) monetize. That's 'consideration' (as lawyers say) in the New Economy! And-if they shadowban-they've obtained it on questionable pretenses, no?
i'm sure you sign off on their TOS without even reading it. oh well....
Their ToS doesn’t say they will “shadow-ban” users. Dumb ass. :laugh:

i'm sure buried in that fine print it says something to that effect.

in this instance i equate this to saying FIRE in a public theater. our freedoms only go so far.

and dude, i worked at Microsoft as Janet Reno and the dems decided they got big enough to tell what to do and force their activities as well. so let's not wave your angry dick at the (R)s and cry foul. this is standard operating procedure that comes out of human nature. you're seeing this from a singular perspective and hunting for words you can throw back and go THAT'S BULLSHIT at the poster.

how many 'real' CONservatives are there who cry about wanting a smaller less intrusive gov'ment & calling others 'faux' conservatives.... while voting to have the gov'ment all up inside a woman's uterus?

^^^ fake news ^^^ the issue of 'obstruction' has NOT been debunked by anybody. even barr said that it hasn't been absolved. the job is up to congress to determine.

do you support the entire report be released so it can be viewed by congress & the public, or are you afraid ( like a lot of (R)s ) of the real innards & what mueller has factually written?

Well, first off my dick is never angry.

Second, the Repubs claim to be the party of small government and more freedoms.

Also, they are the ones in power doing this now. I was just as upset with that Dems and Reno.

We freely and happily give up way too many of our rights
