Trump hinted at the lawsuit during a recent appearance on Newsmax, when he said that he was going to do "something about Big Tech"  because "something harsh has to take place when they can censor conservative voices." 

Last week, Trump’s team launched a new social media platform, named GETTR, and billed it as an alternative to Big Tech sites and says it's dedicated to "fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas.

Trump’s former spokesman, Jason Miller, is leading the platform. 

The app went live on the Google and Apple app stores in mid-June. It's considered one of the highest-profile projects in conservative tech and social media platforms, and comes amid accusations that Big Tech tried to silence pro-Trump commentary

Well done and well said Mr. President!  The defense of the 1A against the mainstream media, big tech social media, big government, and the democrat party working in concert to openly subvert and assault it has begun.

[ This comment stands.  Gettr is mentioned in the seeded article, and the flagger is perfectly well aware that that makes it on topic. ]

Not only that, but it is also a copy of the link within the article seeded.

uh oh, cross climbing time...

 Stylite sitters.

He got away with violating the TOS's when POTUS but got away with it because he was the POTUS.  Now that he is a mere citizen, the TOS applies to him just as it does you and I.

Moral of the story? Diaper Don never tires of losing...

He became President of the United States and restored America to four years of greatness.

No, he only became president.

…Donald J. Trump announced that he is taking the lead in filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of the American people against Big Tech giants, including Facebook, Google and Twitter.

Trump made the announcement on Wednesday in Bedminster, New Jersey at 11 a.m. Watch the highlights below:

“I stand before you this morning to announce a very important and very beautiful, I think, development for our freedom and our freedom of speech,” Trump said. “And that goes to all Americans.”

“Today, in conjunction with the America First Policy Institute, I am filing as the lead class representative a major class action lawsuit against the Big Tech giants, including Facebook, Google and Twitter,” he said. “As well as their CEOs, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Jack Dorsey.”

“Three real nice guys,” he added. “We are asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to order an immediate halt to social media companies’ illegal, shameful censorship of the American people. And that’s exactly what they are doing.”

“We are demanding an end to the shadowbanning, a stop to the silencing, and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well,” he continued.

“Our case will prove this censorship is unlawful, it’s unconstitutional, and it’s completely un-American,” Trump went on.

“Our filing also seeks injunctive relief to allow prompt restitution, really, restoration and I can name about twenty other things that hsa to be prompt, because it’s destroying our country,” he continued.

“In addition, we are asking the courts to impose punitive damages on these social media giants,” Trump added. “We are going to hold Big Tech very accountable.”

“This is the first of numerous other lawsuits, I assume, that would follow,” he said. “But this is the lead and I think it’s going to be a very, very important gamechanger for our country.”

“It will be a pivotal battle in the defense of the First Amendment,” he added. “And in the end, I am confident that we will achieve a historic victory for American freedom. And at the same time, freedom of speech.”

After speaking about America’s freedoms being under threat, he laid out his case that social media giants are working in coordination with the government and the Democratic Party.

“Social media has given extraordinary power to a group of Big Tech giants that are working with government, the mainstream media and a large segment of a political party to silence and suppress the views of the American people,” Trump added.

“While the social media companies are officially private entities, in recent years, they have ceased to be private with the enactment and their historical use of Section 230,” he went on. “Which profoundly protects them from liability.”

“Once they got Section 230, they are not private anymore, in a lot of views,” Trump commented. “No other companies in our country, and even in our country’s history, have had protection like this. It is, in effect, a massive government subsidy.”…

What’s next on his agenda?  Suing McDonalds for not serving him a Whopper?

Suing McDonalds for not serving him a Whopper?

With Trump?  More likely suing McDonalds for refusing to sell him a bucket of chicken and a side of nachos.

And Ronny Jackson thinks Biden needs to take a cognitive test.

Biden clearly would flunk such a test.  

Only secular progressives would expect to find a Whopper at McDonalds.

Big shock, you totally didn’t fucking get it.

There was no legitimate point to be missed.  

There's no legitimate point to Trump's lawsuit either.

You keep saying that and you continue to be wrong.  

You haven't provided anything to demonstrate that. I asked you to demonstrate on what basis the lawsuits are valid. You repeatedly avoided that. I wonder why? Until you do, it's your position that is wrong.

This from USA Today   (bolding is mine):

"Trump's chances of success in court are slim at best, legal analysts said; Facebook and Twitter are private companies with the right to moderate their platforms. Trump said his "class-action" lawsuit filed in South Florida targets CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Jack Dorsey of Twitter, and Sundar Pichai of Google and Alphabet. "We are going to hold Big Tech very accountable," Trump said, accusing the companies of violating First Amendment free speech rights through "censorship" against him and others, "blacklisting" and "canceling" people for political reasons. However, the First Amendment, which states that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech," applies to government entities, not private domains."

Obviously the claim is being brought for show and to incite his base.  If it gets as far as the SCOTUS without having already been laughed out of court, and should the SCOTUS not throw the claim out or refuse to hear it, I will consider that my greatest fears about a Trump-stacked court will have been realized. . 

I recall reading reports about Trump and/or his organization not bothering to pay the costs for rallies, and that does fit in with his reputation as a real estate developer, not paying his trades, and not gettting the prior permission of musicians whose music he used at rallies.  In Canada, where there is likelihood that a plaintiff bringing a court action might not be in a position to pay the court costs or costs of its winning opponents, the court will order that to bring the claim the plaintiff must pay anticipated court and defendants' costs UP FRONT to the court to cover them in the case that the plaintiff loses, expecially in the matter of a trivial matter, or unlikely to succeed.  I don't know if that is the case in America but if it were, I think the defendants have every right to demand such up front payment into court. 

2 things, this is purely a cash grab. Separating dipshits from their money is the only thing trump has ever, somehow, been good at.

Secondly if he does actually file this it’ll get tossed immediately. It doesn’t stand a chance for a multitude of reasons but number one is that these companies/people aren’t government agents and thus  it is impossible for them to be in violation of the constitution.

"We’re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing, and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing, and canceling that you know so well," Trump said during an appearance at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, Wednesday morning.

"We will prove that this censorship is unlawful, it's unconstitutional, and it's completely un-American."

The actions are being supported by the America First Policy Institute, headed by former Trump officials Linda McMahon and Brooke Rollins, who introduced Trump at the announcement. Axios first reported AFPI's involvement.

Trump is banned from Twitter and will not be eligible to return to Facebook for two more years.

In his announcement, Trump said he is the lead class representative in the first suit , filed Wednesday morning in the Southern District of Florida, against YouTube and Pichai.

The Facebook suit also lists Trump as the lead plaintiff.

None of the three tech companies had any immediate comment in response to Trump's announcement.

Trump has been battling for years with the sites over free speech and censorship, even before his ban.

By using a class-action lawsuit, Trump is filing on behalf of a broad group of people that claim they have been censored because of political bias. 

"We ask the court to impose punitive damages on these social media giants," said Trump. "We're going to hold Big Tech very accountable. This is the first of numerous other lawsuits."

Trump railed about what he called censorship of posts by him and others because of the coronavirus pandemic, including his posts about hydroxychloroquine and other treatments for COVID-19. 

"Liberty is under increased threats and attacks by a lot of different sides," Trump said. "We are the majority side ... social media has given extraordinary power to a group of Big Tech giants that are working with government, the mainstream media, and a large segment of a political party to suppress the views of the American people and they've been very successful at that."

He further said that "thousands of people" want to join the lawsuit and called it the largest lawsuit of its kind, before introducing people who have complained about being banned from social media platforms.

Yawn, again, they are not government agents and thus they cannot violate the first amendment. Not sure what is so fucking hard for you to understand about that.

And as usual I am not gonna read through 50 paragraphs of garbage you took from someone else.

How are these companies in violation of the first amendment?

Cartoonish nonsense does nothing for a discussion, or your own credibility.

Care to actually address the question posed to you? Here it is again: On what basis does Trump's lawsuit have merit?

The first amendment free speech issue is only a small part of the class action lawsuit.  The support for that is the evidence they have of big tech acting in concert with and as agents of local state and federal government entities in different cases.  

He owes you no explanation or rationalization as to why he exists.  

What evidence? And how does it translate into a valid lswsuit?

The law suit is valid.  

Too bad he has small fry lawyers who will be squished as easily as Sidney Powell was.

Based on what? Empty claims are meaningless.

…No matter how hard that they try, Democrats and the entire media have been unable to bully tens of millions of Americans into accepting that the 2020 election was legitimately won by Joe Biden.

It can be reasonably argued that at least a partial basis for the ongoing travesty of the political persecutions over the so-called “insurrection” is to make an example of Trump supporters who refuse to accept the results of an election marred by controversy, suspicious irregularities, and the use of COVID by Democrats to create an unprecedented mail-in voting operation that was practically an open invitation for fraud.

With the media foaming at the mouth and Pelosi dispatching a Capitol Police force to cities outside of the Beltway as her personal Gestapo to go after supporters of the nation’s 45th president, Tucker Carlson laid out exactly WHY so many distrust the election, the media and the one-party government that will do anything to preserve its power.

During Friday’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Fox News host read what he described as “a remarkable series of tweets” posted by podcaster Daryl Cooper who under his Twitter handle of @martyrmade broke it all down, laying out a damning case on why the establishment is no longer trusted by a large percentage of the country.

According to Tucker; “Yesterday an historian and podcaster called Daryl Cooper wrote a remarkable series of tweets in which he tried to explain why so many Trump voters believe the last election was rigged;” he said, “really smart, he crystalized it, I’d like read some of it now.”

He then proceeded to read the thread on air; “Here are the facts, actual, confirmed facts that shape their perspective of Trump voters, the FBI spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from day one,” 

Tucker continued , “The voters that this was aimed at are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Father’s memes in their bios. The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence including forged documents is a big deal to them.”

“ Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution, the intel agencies, the press, Congress, academia – gaslit them for another year.” He said.

He pointed out that one likely objective of the Russia hoax was to limit Trump’s choice of those who would work for him, opening the door to the parade of Deep Snakes like John Bolton, Christopher Wray, and Bill Barr along with others who sabotaged the ex-POTUS every step of the way.

“Worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the Trump administration. They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were being bankrupted by legal fees. The DOJ, the press, and the government destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected administration,” he said.

“This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in civics class began to see the outline of a regime that crossed all institutional boundaries,” he said, “that regime stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper, Donald Trump.”

He addressed the obvious, that the Deep State is corrupt to the core and transcends party lines; “A lot of Trump supporters see that the regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election.”

“It’s hard to describe to people on the left how shocking and disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate those who don’t stand for the anthem.” He continued; “They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or government official because they feel most betrayed by them.” 

He then drove the point home by laying the burnt of the blame on a media that is no longer comprised of legitimate journalists but rather stooges of the regime; “The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they’d be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.”…
