Congressman Nunes sues Twitter for shadow bans and smears. Another dishonest media organization sued to the tune of 250

[corpgypsy]

UPDATE
The Twitter account “Devin Nunes’ cow,” which professes to be “hanging out on the dairy in Iowa looking for the lil’ treasonous cowpoke,” has more than 550,000 followers as of this morning. ( Thursday)


That is a dramatic increase from the 1,000 or so before Rep. Nunes filed his lawsuit, on Tuesday, accusing the cow's account (@DevinCow) of defamation.
Nunes’s own verified account has 396,000 followers.


"Legal experts question its chances of success"

What they really mean is that legal experts heard about the lawsuit and could not stop laughing that someone would be stupid enough to bring such a claim, which will be laughed out of court, probably get the plaintiff's lawyer sanctioned for bringing a frivolous suit, and is destined to increase the mockery of Rep. Nunes exponentially.

Cow Power!

I wonder what his reaction would have been if he kept trying to get an editorial published in the New York Times and they kept turning him down?

At least it will give Nunes another reason to whine for a while.

I'm so happy that we don't hear much about him anymore. One of the more insufferable people in Congress.

Although federal law ordinarily exempts services like Twitter from defamation liability at all levels, Nunes' suit said the platform has taken such an active role in curating and banning content -- as opposed to merely hosting it -- that it should face liability like any other organization that defames.

And he's right.

Not under current law.

And should they change the law to make Twitter liable for an account holder defaming someone, Trump would have to change his ways.
