They should also sue people who don't have Twitter accounts. And animals

Especially those fucking manatees. So pretentious. Like "ooh look at me! I'm a cow with flippers. I'm eating sea grass!". Where do they get off? Fucking manatees.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Get off however you need to get off, but please don't fuck a manatee

I am suing Twitter for not giving me any money.

Funny position for someone who told concerned advertisers, "“Don’t advertise. If someone’s going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.”

My job blackmails me with money all the time! They say they won’t pay me if I don’t do my job!

Wait, I can sue people for not buying my stuff?? I don't have anything to sell, but I could come up with something and sue everyone!

If he wins this lawsuit then yes we can all start suing for this.

Winning with an army of lawyers does not mean you can win with AA Legal Representation from the phone book.

If you get them to sign a contract saying they will and receive damages from their failure to meet their agreement, yes.

literally suing people for exercising free speech.

funny how people who keep blabbering about free speech are always the most against it. which tracks, because those people are usually ones who mean fascist speech, and we know they don't mean speech would be free for anyone else.

i mean he also put a price on speech to be seen basically at all on his platform, so speech is literally not free on twitter lol
