Twitter gives judge 'middle finger,' finds out that was wrong answer

It was tech giant Twitter that let the phrase "Die Trump" trend overseas.

It was Twitter from which Disney walked away because of its "nastiness extraordinary."

It is Twitter that has been accused countless times of shadowbanning or otherwise suppressing the speech of conservatives.

But things may be changing as a result of a judge's decision to allow a $250 million lawsuit brought by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., against Twitter to go forward.

The Federalist reported the case soon could be a "nightmare" for the company.

Judge John Marshall, who was assigned the case in Virginia, is considering a number of routine motions, such as Twitter's claim that the case should be in court in California instead.

"At one point, he asked Twitter to provide to him under seal information on the users managing the anonymous accounts and their locations, the number of Twitter users in Virginia, and the amount of revenue earned by the company in the state," the Federalist reported.

"Rather than comply with the court order, Twitter gave the judge the middle finger and refused to provide the information demanded by the court. The judge responded by allowing the trial against Twitter to proceed in Virginia, a move that could wreak havoc not just on Twitter's bottom line going forward, but also its entire business model."

I’d like to see some criminal charges on Bill of Rights violations on some rank and file mods and their managers too. Then follow up with civil suits and turn them out into the street.

All this nonsense about “kill the head and the body dies” gots to go. To beat an army, you have to put accurate and devastating fire upon the soldiers too.

A pallet or two of unmarked bills should help that judge to reconsider.

I may be more aware of how many people wouldn’t visit those sites and you are.

This is important... Free speech for all or free speech for none. There is already precedent for government intrusion into Twitter when a judge forbade Trump from banning certain followers.
