On Wednesday, former US President Donald Trump said that he is suing three of the country’s largest digital firms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google, as well as their CEOs.
Trump stated that he was the primary plaintiff in the class-action lawsuits, claiming that the corporations had unfairly silenced him.
At a news conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf estate, Trump said, “We’re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a halt to the silence, a stop to the blacklisting, banishing, and cancelling that you know so well.”
The lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
After his supporters stormed the Capitol building on January 6, Trump was suspended from Twitter and Facebook. Concerns were raised by the corporations that he might instigate further violence. He is currently unable to post on any platform.
