Twitter Gets Hit With Bizarre Class Action Lawsuit Over Unsolicited SMS Notifications

Two California residents, Drew Moss and Sahar Maleksaeedi, have filed a rather peculiar class action lawsuit against Twitter (see documents embedded below). Basically, they're suing over the fact that Twitter sent a confirmatory SMS to their cellphone after they themselves used an SMS command ('STOP') meant to turn off all phone notifications. The two men allege that Twitter has engaged in unlawful conduct by contacting them on their mobile phones without their consent, which they say is a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) and an invasion of their privacy.
