Former President Donald Trump is suing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai after being booted from multiple platforms following his posts amid the Capitol riot earlier this year.

In a press conference, Trump called it a beautiful lawsuit and a pivotal battle over the First Amendment. He said his lawsuit would sue for an end to shadowbanning and censoring.

Trump, who has long complained about a perceived bias against conservatives on social media and was obsessed with attacking Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act near the end of his presidency, announced the lawsuit today at a press conference. The news was first reported by Axios. The lawsuits will be class-action, with Trump as the lead plaintiff.

It remains to be seen whether the suit will stand up to legal scrutiny. Trump has a long history of filing lawsuits that dont go anywhere.

Just last week a federal judge blocked a highly criticized social media law in Florida that would have allowed the state to fine social media companies that banned political candidates.

The judge granted a preliminary injunction request and argued that the trade groups representing tech companies that sued were likely to prevail in their arguments that the law violates the First Amendment.

Trumps incoming lawsuit also comes as he contemplates another run at the presidency after losing in the 2020 election.

The former presidents reach has dramatically declined since being banned from Facebook and Twitter, and his attempt at launching a blog to connect with his fans was shut down after it wasnt getting much engagement.

In May, Facebooks Oversight Board upheld the social media giants decision to ban Trump, but it also said it disagreed with the companys decision to ban him indefinitely.

In response, Facebook announced last month that Trump would remain banned for two years and will re-evaluate to see if the risk to public safety has receded.

conservatives only believe in the free market (or anything, really) when it does what they want. when it goes against them, they are all about government regulation of private affairs, like with literally everything else.

the only thing conservatives are consistent about is doing everything they can to benefit themselves.

shill for corporations being them continue to operate as they have since their inception?

Trump always was an idiot. It is no surprise he is filling a lawsuit against them even though there is absolutely no case against it. Facebook and Twitter are private entities. By creating an account on those sites he agreed to the terms and conditions. He violated them so they banned his account.
