There is anti-conservative bias on Twitter, but. . .

Hearing Nunes talk about the suit, and how insults and such caused him severe mental and emotional distress. . .

Nunes may be a bit of a bitch.

Definitely a snowflake, though.

Toughen up, buttercup. Life is hard, and you don't have to have a right to not be offended.

Conservatives should capture the counterculture instead of forcing the establishment to support them

His suit is a clear assault on free speech...but people are going to be partisan and ignore what I would guess are their free speech principles.

Sure, but you can agree Nunes is exhibiting snowflake behavior and is assaulting free speech, right?

Twitter ADMITS shadow banning conservative editor


quote:

Twitter admitted Monday it goofed in blocking content of a conservative commentator last week — though the company suggested it was an error, not a policy. Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist and owner of a Twitter account with more than 160,000 followers, says he ran into the situation after publishing a transcript of former anti-Trump FBI lawyer Lisa Page. His tweet was still visible to him, but apparently not to any of his followers — what he called a “shadow ban.”

It's amazing you jack assess are actually ok with social media companies selectively banning dissenting opinions.

If the shoe were on the other foot you'd be screaming at the top of your lungs.

It's amazing you howl at the moon about gay cakes, but you think other private entities should be forced to associate with people and views they don't want to

I'm consistent, no gay cakes, no forced association

Now explain to me why you support Nunes getting account information on people who troll him..

Actually reading more about it, he may have a case and iS filing this as an individual. For those reasons, it's not as bad.

I understand it, I don't think he's being a snowflake. He has some really good points as to how Twitter may have conspired to allow people to defame while not allowing rebuttal

The part I disagree with is the larger picture about attacking conservatives, though he very well may have a strong individual case.

This is a ploy to get to discovery..

If they do grant discovery Twitter as we know it is toast.

There is no way to cover up the bias that exists in the moderation of the platform and more importantly it will show that Twitter does not meet the viewpoint as a "limited public forum" and a platform that should not be regulated and instead is a media publisher that can and should be.

This is one of those funny little lawsuits that may have billions tied to it long term.
