Former U.S. President Donald announced that he is filing a lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and their respective Big Tech CEOs over issues concerning censorship.
The lawsuit alleges that the social media companies have violated Trump's First Amendment rights in suspending his accounts, according to The Daily Wire report.
He also argued that Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube should no longer be considered private companies but "a state actor."
Trump said during a press conference in New Jersey that they are asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to immediately halt social media companies' "illegal and shameful" censorship of the American people.
