Mr. Nunez was accusing me of a Twitter account called 'Devin Nunes' Mom' and 'Devin Nunes' Cow'. These two accounts posted a number of ironic tweets about Nunes. Of the two accounts, Devin Nunes' Mom ( @DevinNunesMom ) has been frozen, but Devin Nunes' Cow( @DevinCow ) is still alive. You can see how he continues to fuel Mr. Nuneth despite being in litigation.

Mr. Nunez sued these two accounts for defamation as 'damaging reputation', and at the same time, Twitter is accusing him of liability as 'allowing posting satirical remarks on the platform'. It was.

In the trial of Mr. Nunes vs. Twitter, 'Communication Quality Law Article 230' stipulated that 'Internet companies have no legal responsibility for contents provided by third parties with some exceptions' It was. ``Twitter favored liberal content rather than conservative content and encouraged content to mock Nunes,'' said Nunes' attorney Stephen Bis. Claims that Article 230 should not apply. On the other hand, the lawyer on Twitter side said, 'The exception of Article 230 of the Communication Quality Act is limited to 'when cooperating with the development and creation of content posted by a third party', so Article 230 of the Communication Quality Act applies to this case Will be done.'

Judge John Marshall, who tried this case, fully accepted the Twitter side's assertion that 'according to precedent, Article 230 of the Communication Quality Act applies even if the permitted content is biased.' Katherine Hill, a spokeswoman for Twitter, commented on the ruling: “We strongly believe that Nunes's decision to dismiss the alleged charges was correct. Regardless, we are enforcing the rules fairly for everyone who uses the service.'

The lawsuit brought by Nunes against the two satire accounts is still ongoing at the time of article creation.
