That’s not a lawsuit they would even attempt, as it would get immediately thrown out.

People use the threat of lawsuit as an intimidation tactic all the time.

They wouldn't have to send random DM's if they got the IP addresses more directly, as the article describes.

They would just have to start DMing us meme images hosted on a server they control, and they’d get a list of IPs. All we’d have to do is look.
