Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is filing class action lawsuits against three of the country’s largest tech companies — Facebook, Twitter, and Google — all of which have banned the former president from their social media platforms.
Mr. Trump announced at a press conference that he will pursue a “major class action lawsuit” against the three companies, demanding “a stop to the blacklisting, banishing, and canceling that you know so well.”
The former president is currently banned from Twitter and Facebook — as well as YouTube, which is owned by Google — following the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The lawsuits, which were filed in U.S. District Court for Florida’s southern district, argue that all three companies are actually government entities.
Experts say that argument may face steep legal hurdles.
Moments after Wednesday’s press conference, Trump’s Save America PAC used the lawsuits in a fundraising pitch, asking supporters to donate “immediately.”
