My small claims suit vs. Twitter

After being banned again by Twitter, I decided to sue them personally. This was filed in Kentucky. The Kentucky Secretary of State will serve Twitter at their corporate headquarters by certified mail. My court hearing is scheduled for 12/22. I will have my day in court. Twitter will have to represent themselves in a Podunk City, Kentucky courtroom or be in severe jeopardy of giving me $2600 (small claims max of $2500 plus $97 court costs). The money is secondary, facing Twitter in a rural Kentucky court room is most important. It would be a shame if Twitter got dragged into 100,000 Podunk City, USA court rooms to answer to 100,000 targeted, aggrieved and financially damaged conservatives.

If you get a judgement and they don’t pay you can put a lien on there building in California

Famously there was once a woman who won some sort of small claims judgment against Kmart. They never paid her.

So she got the local Sheriff and walked into one of their stores on a busy Saturday morning a couple of weeks before Christmas and confiscated all of the cash out of their registers. Message received.

Of course you have to have a willing Sheriff to pull of something like that.

If you’re using Twitter - you’re part of the problem.

I love this, but you need evidence. Please get evidence, which is some paper proof. Go get ‘em!

Oh, it would be wonderful if you could get a court transcript, that is, if they show up.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Not a bad strategy but I think your numbers are too low. How about 25 million suits. Every single one small claims.

[DownInFlames]

How about violations of your 14th amendment.

[hardspunned]

Small claims court. This is not about the constitution or anything but them financially (my time) screwing me.

“If you’re using Twitter - you’re part of the problem.”

Trump and associates use twitter.

[TomServo]

Yeah - I know.

[hardspunned]

That’s not the point. The point is forcing them to come to my community and to defend their actions.

[DownInFlames]

It has to deal with your freedom of speech being restricted because you don’t share the same viewpoints. Thwarts what the 14th Amendment is about. Equal protection of your ideas and thoughts.

Twitter’s answer will be that they’re for entertainment purposes and any political usage you get is just an accident.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They will never do that. At most they'll cut you a check.

[TexasGator]

Be careful. You can be fined for frivolous lawsuits.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Yeah, this seems akin to suing a store because you go there every day looking for a certain brand of frozen pizza and they don’t carry it.

[TexasGator]

“They will never do that. At most they’ll cut you a check.”

At worst he will have to cut a check.

Twitter: America’s bathroom wall. Twitter: Gateway to a political graveyard.

It would be a shame if Twitter got dragged into 100,000 Podunk City

100K population is pretty major to me.

My semi-rural township has about 10k and growing fast. I personally would like to move to a more sparsely populated area but it is my wife’s home town and I am unlikely to convince her to move.
