Snowflake sues Twitter for Defamation

I don't think it's a publicity stunt as some have said.

I think he's just an oversensitive moron.

There’s a cow on Twitter. But it isn’t just any cow – it claims to belong to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
“Hanging out on the dairy in Iowa looking for the lil’ treasonous cowpoke,” reads the bio of the account “Devin Nunes’ cow,” which as of early Tuesday had nearly 45,000 followers.
The opinionated bovine appears to not be the biggest fan of its owner. “Devin’s boots are full of manure," it once tweeted. "He’s udder-ly worthless and it’s pasture time to mooove him to prison.”
On Monday, Nunes said he is suing the cow account, other individual users and Twitter for defamation and negligence, alleging that the social media platform “knowingly acted as a vessel for opposition research” and censors conservative voices. The lawsuit — the latest one accusing a social media site of anti-conservative bias — drew criticism Monday as many, including legal experts, questioned its motivations and wondered if it could be a “publicity stunt.”

Supposedly, lil Devin is a lawyer.

They must not have covered NY Times v. Sullivan at the Close Cover Before Striking School of Law.

It's an interesting legal theory. I don't think it'll go anywhere. I wonder if it is done more so to get at discovery than money.

He's not that smart, and I question whether this will even get to discovery.

I wonder that myself as well.

once again you've misapplied your term snowflake, unless you're saying Nunes is a democrat?

I don't do twitter, but I can make an assumption that it is a privately held platform, much as our forum, subject to rules and regulation. It might allow the general public, but does it have the same authority as many forums?
There appears to be a hierarchy involved as well similar to moderators.
Why the hell would anyone indulge such trip?
Trump uses it to crawl under his opponents skin and to cause them sleepless nights. So far, so good.

No, I'm saying he's a $#@!, like most cons are unless they're in a group.

Politicians suing animated cows and we wonder why our system is crashing?

Nunes fits right in with the crying college kiddos with this one.
