Dominion Voting tells Facebook, Parler and other social media sites to preserve posts for lawsuits

Source: Washington Post

SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems have asked Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Parler to preserve posts about the company, even if the material was already removed for spreading misinformation.

The posts need to be kept “because they are relevant to Dominion’s defamation claims relating to false accusations that Dominion rigged the 2020 election,” according to the demand letters from Dominion’s law firm Clare Locke. Dominion sued Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sidney Powell for more than $1.3 billion each in January, alleging that the lawyers defamed Dominion by saying the machines were used to steal the election from President Donald Trump.

Dominion asked each company to keep posts from slightly differing lists of people. Those included right-wing pundit Dan Bongino, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Powell. It also included news organizations Fox News, One America News and Newsmax and — in Twitter’s case — Trump.

Can't make a good Pizza-gate without stirring up the sauce ingredients first. They need time to simmer.

There should be a lot nervous liars out there right now, because Dominion or Smartmatic is coming for them. Words have consequences.
