Plaintiff claims Defendant: Twitter provides an indispensable portal to vital political information. Twitter provides liberals unfettered access to this platform to discuss political interaction within our nation. Twitter routinely stifles conservatives’ access to this platform. When Twitter discriminatorily blocks the free exchange of information among conservatives, I am forced to spend hours daily searching for the censored material elsewhere. Only conservative individuals and political entities, from the President and Republican congressional committees down to individuals, such as myself, are blocked or limited by Twitter. My time, discriminatorily wasted by Twitter has value. Twitter, on occasion, also targets me by discriminatorily banning me completely from this platform. On average, Twitter purposefully wastes one hour of my time daily as I try to find information that Twitter discriminatorily hides from me. There are literally millions of examples of Twitter’s premeditated discrimination against me to be provided to the court. Over the last year my damages, inflicted upon me by Twitter, amount to $2646 (365 hours stolen from me by Twitter @ $7.25 minimum wage per hour).
Small Claims usually will not hit you for frivolous if there is any substance....
There is enough to waive ....
Now, we need 25 Million of these suits.....
I’m banned. I’m forced to waste my time trying to find, elsewhere, all the information I’m entitled to from Trump, Rand Paul, my congressman, NY Post, Republican congressional committees, ACB information, etc.,etc., etc. This is not a joke. Eventually I can find most of the info, but it takes time, even at $7.25/hour, expensive time.
No, you misunderstood. 100,000 small towns, mine has a population of 1400. Why don’t you sue the bastards from your small town?
You’re up, go get the bastards in your small claims court.
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.
No offense to you personally, Bubba, but I believe that’s a terrible metaphor, because the point in question is about equal opportunity of a consumer, sorta like anti-discrimination laws on the books for equal housing or employment opportunity.
I would modify your metaphor to this suit being like a store only selling pizzas to democrats, and forcing republicans to disavow their beliefs before they can buy.
Power of the people. I like this. Only in small towns. Only small courts. Bleed them with a million paper cuts.
Personally I think everyone should just move to Gab and starve Twitter into submission.
Personally I don’t like the Twitter platform and rarely ever use it.
Probably visit Twitter less than once a week.
If I sued them and they checked my traffic on the website I would lose the suit on that basis alone.
“I’m banned. I’m forced to waste my time”\\
Not a basis for damages. But go ahead and waste your time and money.
There is no substance.
Twitter would probably argue that it should be a class action suit.
After they had consolidated the suits, they would file a motion arguing standing and have the case summarily dismissed.
Exactly. I’m surprised that so many Freepers don’t get it. Small Claims is great! In the last year I’m 2-0 against 5/3 Bank and Home Depot. I was just this week contacted by an Apple attorney to discuss my suit against those bastards. I will be 3-0 on or before my scheduled 11/10 court hearing vs. Apple. Now you’re up. Go sue ‘em.
Please make sure that their atty who might show up has a Kentucky law license.
My dad represented an employee of a large company in a workers comp dispute. Said large company sent their attys from their headquarters state - NOT TEXAS. First thing my dad did was ask for their TEXAS law license. Continuance granted, they hired TX atty, dad’s client won the dispute.
If the case is accepted, they are assigned a trial date, and fail to show up, it should be a default judgment against them. However, I find this an exercise in futility. But GOD’S SPEED! Should it actually occur win or lose, it’d be a big annoyance for Twitter.
Should have waitied. They are still protected as a corporation. Refile after 230 is repealed.
I don’t know how he will make his argument but I could generate enough to prevent frivolous charges in a small claims court....
But he's not claiming discrimination. He's claiming lost time going someplace every day for an hour looking for something that he says he can't find there.

IF you couldn’t buy the pizza at your local market because they discriminate against you, and you have to drive to the next town, that’s loss of time and resources... just to carry forth the metaphor.
The monetary damages are just a way to quantify the wrong-doing by the plantif/defendant/accused
So political belief is now a protected class?
Good luck to them. Small courts.... Dragon Amy has been heaven sent.
