The former president has sued major social media platforms over the suspension of his accounts contending that the censorship constrains free speech. Wednesday’s Southern District of Florida complaints name both companies’ CEOs individually as defendants as well as Twitter Inc., Facebook Inc. and YouTube LLC themselves.
Former President Trump’s complaint asserts that he used his social media accounts to communicate directly with the American people, reportedly more so than any prior president. He “strategically circumvented what he saw as a mainstream media that was biased against him,” the complaint says.
The filings point to topics relating to the 2020 presidential election and COVID-19, specifically, the former president’s views on and advocacy for the use of hydroxychloroquine to protect against the coronavirus, as content that was allegedly illegally censored by the defendants.
