Do you find the lawsuit to be frivolous?
Did you ever read Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. ? Combined with the fact that the First Amendment in the minds of numerous qualified legal experts does not apply to private industry along with the fact that Trump freely agreed to the terms set forth by the social media platforms which grants them the right to suspend him.

He started his own blog but after the free 30 days were up and he had to starting paying.... he shut it down.

Might help to explain why the defendants aren't even bothering to respond publicly.

The minute the suit was filed the appeal for money went out to his donors. Will there be a public accounting of the dollars raised and how it was spent? We'll see.

That really means a lot when people like the Iranian president are on Twitter chanting "Death to Israel! Death to America!" But the former president of the United States is denied access. That makes it political. If social media is the new public square then they have an obligation to give equal access, not deny those with differing viewpoints from participating.

Thanks for your brilliant legal analysis lol.

You might want to read this, the supreme court just signaled that they would uphold regulating social media as common carriers.

First of all this is simply the opinion of just one judge. Now if you want social media platforms to carry content in any form from anybody then be prepared for content that you personally might be offended by or personally consider pornographic or inappropriate . If that is what happens then you'll simply have to accept that new norm and forget about trying to censor content.

Then again you won't pay for information anyway so why should it matter to you?

Again when the platform is a form of private enterprise it's their property and their rules. They don't HAVE to provide that service. If you want a completely wide open social media platform then be prepared for content you might find obscene and offensive. But, this is the what you wanted and there won't be anything you can do about it. And furthermore you could expect Facebook, Twitter etc to begin charging you for every second or every word of content you post. When it's no longer free , that will be the game changer.
