In 2019, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Ca.) filed a complaint against Twitter, @DevinCow, and @DevinNunesMom, seeking damages of $250 million.
According to Gizmodo, the ardent supporter of President Donald Trump alleged the platform has been “amplifying” his “defamers.'
In doing so, it revealed Twitter’s “political agenda” to “undermine confidence” in Devin Nunes and benefit Republican nemeses.
Friday, Virginia judge John Marshall wrote to Nunes’s attorneys that Nunes misunderstands Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
The act clearly shields platforms from liability over user-generated speech posted on their websites.
In his complaint, Nunes noted that @DevinCow had 1,204 followers. Today, she has over 736,000, largely thanks to Devin Nunes.
