Trump announced the suits during a press conference on Wednesday. Axios first reported the news.
The lawsuits, filed in the Southern District of Florida, come after Twitter and Facebook booted him over risks of violence following the January 6 insurrection. They’re an escalation from an ongoing war that the right waged against Big Tech, alleging that internet platforms censor conservative viewpoints.
“I’m filing as the lead class representative a major class-action lawsuit against the big tech giants, including Facebook, Google, and Twitter as well as their executives,” Trump said.
He said he’s asking the court to impose punitive damages on the tech companies, and said other lawsuits will likely follow.

Twitter suspended conservative reporter Paul Sperry, and it seems like he’s been ‘Trumped.’ We might never see him on Twitter or Facebook again.
When trying to access his account, the typical “account suspended … Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules” message appears.
Sperry, who had tens of thousands of followers, told The Gateway Pundit that “there were no warnings” from Twitter before it suspended his account.
“No rules were broken They just don’t like my content because of their politics. They’re trying to claim I’m a ‘robot’ when of course they know better. Tyrants. This is the second time I’ve been harassed since Trump was banned,” Sperry said, referring to the suspension of former President Donald Trump’s account last month.
