From today’s hearing in Nunes v. Twitter: Devin Nunes’ attorney says he’s at ‘dead end’ in quest to reveal identity of @DevinCow fresnobee.com/news/politics-…
Twitter’s argument for dismissing Devin Nunes’ lawsuit is Section 230, a federal law that says social media companies are not liable for things third parties post on their platforms. Here’s how that went: fresnobee.com/article2434884…
You might remember that Trump recently issued an executive order that tried to peel back Section 230. This Virginia judge weighed in on that, saying exec order has no effect on actually changing a law enacted by Congress. fresnobee.com/article2434884…
Devin Nunes’ lawyer tried to argue that Twitter’s behavior has been so egregiously political that Section 230 protection should not apply to them. The judge went after him on this, saying neutrality is not mandated for protections: fresnobee.com/article2434884…
Twitter’s attorney argued that Nunes’ attorney was advocating for the court to change a law. “Mr. Biss is asking the court to enact a new law,” he said. “And if he wants a new law, well, Mr. Nunes is a congressman.”

While pushing for discovery, Devin Nunes’ attorney said after a lot of work they still don’t know who @DevinCow @NunesAlt are. “We’re trying to figure out who they are, and we read the comments on Twitter ... every day. But we’re at a dead end.”
