re: #210 lawhawk

Trump’s crackerjack legal team is about to go through some things, but more than that, Trump’s bank account (or rubes legal defense fund), because they filed that idiotic 1A suit in the wrong forum.

According to Twitter and Facebook TOS, all actions must be filed in the NDCA. There’s a forum selection clause that has been upheld repeatedly by the courts. It’s not going to be ignored just for Trump.

So, expect Twitter and Facebook lawyers to argue two things in their response:

1) motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action (1A is inapplicable as to the private business decisions to ban a person from a social media platform who repeatedly violates said TOS, tries to circumvent the suspension with dummy accounts, and uses platform to incite to violence, misinform during a public health crisis, etc.)
2) wrong venue.

I read, probably in jest, they shouldn’t oppose
Just go for discovery
