Devin Nunes, a California Republican, has accused Twitter of publishing defamatory content — including from a handle that purported to be Nunes’ own mother
California Rep. Devin Nunes said Monday that he had filed a lawsuit against Twitter, claiming the social-media site has “shadow banned” conservatives.
Just got off the phone w/ deputy clerk in Henrico. She says that Nunes' lawyer Steven Biss filed the lawsuit this morning, and that it hasn't even been completely processed in the system. There is no overnight filing or e-filing allowed so Fox was running with an unfiled doc. He alleges that the social-media site did this purposefully to elevate the alleged defamatory statements made against him.
“Between February 2018 and March 2019, Twitter allowed @DevinNunesMom to post hundreds of egregiously false, defamatory, insulting abusive, hateful, scandalous and vile statements about Nunes that without question violated Twitter’s Terms of Service and Rules,” the complaint, which was first reported by Fox News, reads.
