Haven’t you figured out they don’t need any facts. It’s a kangaroo courtroom.

Yes, it can, within only a handful of codified exceptions.

Not only that, but all users who republished the so-called “slander” are also liable.

Yeah really what I’ve been reading. Cruz is threatened by a hashtag. He doesn’t have a case in the slight, and Twitter should say to Teddy go pound sand.

Can’t have it both ways. He threatens no action and Trumpettes say he must have something to hide. He threatens legal action and he’s bashed for being against Constitutional free speech. Make up your minds will ya.

"Free speech does not include slander."

Anyone, including your 20yr old nephew, could make a case that there's reasonable basis for pursuing such a theme in the public square.

Hell, Cruz will not even sue the originator of the story...National Inquirer. How the hell could he make a case against Twitter?!?!?

They and their lawyers are laughing their asses off right now.

And all the rest of us are laughing at the people who take this threat seriously.

They want the damage to happen when it is too late for the GOP. It is not time now.

Shut up, Dick.

Twitter is being run by Social Justice Warriors who have, what the hell is it called, the "Trust and Safety Council" which bans conservatives and un-verifies their accounts, cleanses timelines, and deletes hashtags which violate the tender fweelings of snowflakes.

Free speech is a threat to these DC/globalist hacks.
