SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – Twitter is appealing a recent federal court decision that said it was too quick to sue the Texas attorney general over his reaction to President Donald Trump being banned from the social media platform.
Texas AG Ken Paxton’s response to Twitter banning Trump after the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was to issue a civil investigative demand to the company. Paxton sought documents relating to what he felt were possible violations of his state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act in regard to what it allows to be posted.
Twitter’s reply was to sue Paxton in California federal court in an attempt to stifle his CID.

DALLAS (AP) – A California judge has dismissed a Twitter lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in which the social medium accused the Republican of using his office to retaliate for Twitter’s banning the account of former President Donald Trump.
Twitter had imposed the lifetime ban following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol in which five people died. Days later, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.” The attorney general’s office demanded that the companies produce various records related to their content moderation policies and troves of internal communications.
