Trump doesn't miss the social media site.
In July, former President Donald Trump announced a class action lawsuit against Big Tech companies and its CEOs for violating the First Amendment when they banned him from their platform following the events at the U.S. Capitol. Trump filed another lawsuit against the social media site in an attempt to get his account back.
The tech companies are taking the lawsuit seriously, even though it was being propped up by Trump.
The case is being thrown out by a federal judge. The company says that Trump doesn't understand the First Amendment or free speech, and that its rights are being threatened.
According to a federal court filing, Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, argued that the company is not constrained by the federal constitution. It's possible for the company to make decisions about what content is allowed to be posted on its site. The company says that Trump agreed to abide by the rules but then proceeded to violate them.
The company's filing says that Trump violated the company's policies by repeatedly posting false information about the 2020 election. The company had to take further action because Trump continued to threaten the peaceful transfer of power.
The private operator of an online platform can't be forced to distribute speech that they don't agree with.
It's been over a year since Donald Trump's supporters went to the U.S. Capitol building to try and overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Several online platforms suspended or banned Trump in the days following the event.
Trump has tried to create his own space online. He started and ended a small website. He recently announced a new social media platform called TRUTH Social. The platform has had issues with licensing and trolls, who defaced the unfinished version of the platform.
