More Legal Shenanigans from the Biden Administration’s Department of Education

Among the foremost threats to individual freedom in America is the abusive and oftentimes lawless behavior of federal administrative agencies, whose vast armies of overpaid bureaucrats remain unaccountable for their excesses.

A Massachusetts woman is suing social media site Twitter for allegedly blasting spam messages to her cellphone.

Beverly Nunes has filed a class action lawsuit in San Francisco, and she is seeking more than $5 million under a federal law that restricts robo-calling.  According to news reports, Nunes claims Twitter has been blasting spam messages to "recycled" phone numbers and ignoring the recipients' pleas to stop. Nunes, who says she received a reassigned number from her phone company, says she has never used Twitter but that she is receiving the tweets because Twitter is disregarding policies about disconnected numbers.

“We believe these claims are without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves against them,” Twitter said in a statement.
