Trump sues to reinstate his Twitter account
Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in Florida seeking to force Twitter to reinstate him, arguing the platform’s ban violates the First Amendment and Florida’s new social media law.
Trump is seeking a preliminary injunction of Twitter’s ban, according to the complaint filed in the Southern District of Florida late Friday. The former president argues that Twitter, “coerced by members of the United States Congress,” is censoring him, describing the social media platform as “a major avenue of public discourse.” Trump seeks to be temporarily reinstated on Twitter while he continues his efforts toward permanent reinstatement.
Twitter “exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country that is immeasurable, historically unprecedented, and profoundly dangerous to open democratic debate,” the complaint states. The former president used his @RealDonaldTrump account to announce policy and personnel decisions (often to the surprise of the agencies and people involved), criticize political enemies, and spread misinformation about election results.

Why is it so hard to understand that when you violate their terms of service - they can ban you permanently? He violated their terms repeatedly for 5+ years too. That was proven when there were two people who made up accounts - one on FB, one on Twitter - that were literally nothing but copying and pasting his FB posts and tweets and they were banned within hours.
I have had several FB blocks in the last year - I don't agree with them but FB has every right to do it. I don't have to use their service either. I had a Twitter account that was permanently suspended - I have no clue why. I didn't use it for like 3 days before I logged in and got the notice I was suspended - but I already had a back up account before that.
His 1A rights are not being violated by Twitter because they can't violate anyone's 1A rights. The 1A protects us from government censorship.

I feel ill when I see a picture of that pathetic man. My female macaw has more morality than Trump.
