Defeated Brazilian Presidential Candidate Sues Twitter

I have the right to sue Twitter because...because...people called me names on the internet.

20 users had been producing and disseminating content that linked Neves to criminal activity.

if such criminal activity is false, then he has every right. freedom of speech does NOT mean you can say what ever comes out of your mouth without consequences.

With all due respect Steve, but your comments do not match to the news content.

Mr. Neves is not suing Twitter because people called him names, his is demanding to know details about the identity of offenders. Not unlike the "subpoena" that exists in your legal system.
