It shouldn't be OK and Media Matters will surely file for a change of venue. They're located in DC and Twitter in California. Heck, Twitters own TOS says that your use of the service is governed by California law, so any claim that they fraudulently used the service should be handled in California.

But activist judges are also known to deny motions for made up reasons, so Twitter starts in Texas in hopes an activist judge keeps the case there to "stick it to the liberals."

Texas is famous for judges that keep the venue there, with laws that are friendly to corporations. It's why it's the most popular state for these shitbird corporate lawyers to file suits.
