LINK Trump asks US judge to force Twitter to restore his account

NEW YORK ✈ — Former President Donald Trump has asked a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to restore his account, which the company suspended in January following the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol.

Trump’s attorneys on Friday filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Miami seeking a preliminary injunction against Twitter and its CEO, Jack Dorsey. They argue that Twitter is censoring Trump in violation of his First Amendment rights, according to the motion.

(The problem being, the first amendment restricts the goverment's power to limit free speech, but doesn't mandate or require corporations provide a platform for free speech. Also, there are many cases in which persons who practiced free speech were punished for the consequences of their free speech. The first amendment doesn't guarantee a right to use the Twitter platform.)

That bastard must have the most fragile ego anyone who has ever had lived.

I'll be interested in reading a summary of the filing logic. Ha, ha.

My guess is it's very creative or pathetic, or both.🙂


RCC Added -- does it matter that Twitter's headquarters are in California?
