Devin Nunes sues Twitter, others for $250 million

[GeorgiaModerate]

The lawsuit filed Monday alleges the social media giant censored conservative voices by “shadow banning” figures, which Nunes says potentially impacted the 2018 midterm election results. Others named in the lawsuit include GOP operative Liz Mair, Mair Strategies, “Devin Nunes’ Mom” (@DevinNunesMom) and “Devin Nunes’ cow” (@DevinCow), two parody accounts that mocked the Trump ally and California Republican.

Absurd lawsuits in amount and the content of the accusation are the zone of the disreputable.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Not this again...if anything the problem is the reverse where right wing trolls and fanatics are tolerated by major social media websites due to a combination of generating revenue and the fear of this very accusation.

 Most of those Sillicon Valley leaders are very weird guys who are into Ayn Rand and hate people. The workforce tends to be liberal but the leadership is not really.

 Dorsey seems to sympathize with the alt-right. He only acts on them out of embarrassment and public pressure.

Good, please sue Twitter from existence.

[Nyvin]

I'd love to see him post all the neo-nazi and hate group accounts that got banned and go "SEE!?!"

[ProudModerate2]

Probably wont take long for this lawsuit to be tossed.
Cry-baby Nunes.

...but I thought Republicans wanted businesses like Twitter to have the discretion to provide or refrain from providing swrvices to whomever they want to?

Good to see that you don't even pretend not being a fascist.

You really don't know what fascism is, do you? Just a word you throw around like a dog with a toy.

Deplorable Devin Nunes is a special kind of snowflake. Sounds to me like he needs to go back to his safe space.

Poor baby.

“Destroy any business that doesn’t completely and exactly align with and propagate my own political ideology”.

Sounds about right.

That’s...quite a lot of businesses, lol. On both sides of the aisle. There would be hardly any large corporations left. 

Closet socialist Dabeav?

Nope, just ready for full-on antitrust of silicon valley. Bust 'em up.

I mean I don’t disagree...so long as we’re also actually applying antitrust in other sectors where it’s been long neglected. Otherwise it’s literally political retaliation (keep the monopolies/oligopolies that donate to my side, break up the ones that don’t).

I'm all for it. Break up those banks that we bailed out a decade ago too.

Nunes is one of the all-time lowly stooges in American political history.

[Sestak]

Also, this suit has nothing to do with Twitter “silencing political opinions”. Nunes is suing them for allowing certain parody accounts to exist; in other words, he himself is trying to silence satire critical of him.

Others named in the lawsuit include GOP operative Liz Mair, Mair Strategies, “Devin Nunes’ Mom” (@DevinNunesMom) and “Devin Nunes’ cow” (@DevinCow), two parody accounts that mocked the Trump ally and California Republican.

I see that Mr. Nunes got his legal advice from James Woods.

Incidentally, James Woods is a known cocaine addict.

Why is this a problem?
