From what I see Media Matters said ads were placed against antisemitic / racist posts and then Twitter confirmed it. So wtf is the lawsuit even about???? Twitter tried to cast it as "free speech" or that these ads were a fraction of their total but the reality is they happened. So all I see happening if Twitter goes ahead with a lawsuit is a) they get anti-SLAPPed back to where they were or b) they go to trial and get screwed by discovery and reality. In a way I hope they don't get the anti-SLAPP since discovery would kill them.
