think it’s shitty of Twitter and the rest to do and there are all sorts of philisophical / ethical questions on what this does to our country, but they are private companies not breaking any rules so this is just a frivolous lawsuit and honestly the start of big gov intrusion at this point.


If they promote certain view points and ban others they mat cross the line from open platform to content publisher and that comes with a whole list of problems for them.

From the lawsuit:
quote:

“Devin might be aunscrupulous, craven, back-stabbing, charlatan and traitor, but he’s no Ted Cruz”; falsely stated that Nunes was “voted ‘Most Likely to Commit Treason’ in high school”; falsely stated that “The people of California’s Central Valley are upright folk who work hard,look you square in the eye and give you a firm handshake. And then there is@DevinNunes”; falsely stated that Nunes is “not ALL about deceiving people. He’s also about betraying his country and colluding with Russians”; stated “I don’t know aboutBaby Hitler, but would sure-as-shite abort baby Devin”; falsely stated that “Alpha Omega wines taste like treason”; falsely stated that “@DevinNunes wanted me to tell everyonethat he’ll be releasing a pic soon to get ahead of that AMI thing, and that it only looksthat way because of all the blow”; falsely suggested that Nunes might be willing to give the President a “blowjob"

Terms like: 1) we will provide a free and open platform to express your views free from harassment; 2) we will shut down the accounts of people who harass/defame/threaten or dox you Vis a vis conservatives- these terms have been violated. But only vis a vis conservatives. Example- Kathy Griffin sought to dox the Covington Catholic Kids saying she “wanted names” - she still has an account. The editor of the Daily Caller was removed for tweeting #learntocode They made the editorial decision to eliminate one account after a complaint, but not the other. Lawyers call that a “pretext” Seriously. I think they have problems


Nunes said that he "wants the algorithms"; if Discovery allows it, that will be the smoking gun.

Also said that this Suit is one of many to come. CNN/Fake News MSM are going to get hit also. These Media Entities have become big players in the electoral process; essentially donating their Public Forum to electing Democrats. They are not going to sweep this under the rug no more so than they can the fact that HRC destroyed subpoenaed evidence. Evidence that would likely implicate the former POTUS in crimes.

Gonna blow wide open by next election.

The best part is that his lawyer has been suspended twice and has an EarthLink email address on the complaint

Not sure. If Twitter ensures free political speech in its term of service, then proceeds to ban conservatives all Willy Nilly, there’s a case.


Should investigate campaign finance violations. If they suppress one candidate, but not another, then they are aiding one specific candidate. They need to calculate the monetary value, then determine if it exceeds the allowable limits.
If so, then Twitter

You guys won't like the trade for @DevinNunesMom vs every single right wing pundit and troll that's ever said something slanderous about anybody ever on Twitter

It won't end up like you want it

But, by all means, cheer this dumb shite on

Does that same rationale apply to the admins here on TD?

If Russians on FB can be indicted, then the owners of these companies can sure as shite be sued. Silencing one side is certainly meddling in an election.

If it isn't, then the Russians didn't. Can't have it both ways.

You are focused on the wrong thing. It's the minor aged kid Bill Maher defamed. You lib assholes went too far, now you will get screwed. In all honesty, you all fricked up big time.

One you got the story wrong, then you pitched it for a month. And you publicly trashed a minor child as your target.

You digust me and I hope you get your arse taken to the 'collective' cleaner because you have no right to think you should be so rich while other suffer.

BITCH!

Judging from your ridiculous screed you are what, 16?
FTR, I am a lifelong Republican and a conservative. This doesn't blind me to the fact that this lawsuit is complete bullshite. You should really grow up, boy.
