Newt Gingrich May Sue Twitter [UPDATED] « The Washington Independent

“„

Attorneys for Gingrich and Anuzis wrote Twitter on Wednesday, asking them to disable a posting by the anonymously-owned “EFCANOW” handle, which asked followers to sign a petition supporting the labor legislation. The posting included Gingrich’s and Anuzis’s Twitter handles, which function as their screen names… “The posting falsely purports to have been written by Messrs. Gingrich and Anuzis and includes the Mark as well as the Twitter ‘handles’ of the foregoing individuals,” attorneys wrote in the letter obtained by The Hill. “The posting is deliberately designed to fraudulently induce readers into believing that…Messrs. Gingrich and Anuzis all support EFCA.”
