Trump Loses Lawsuit Over Twitter Ban

Meridian ID

Description

Donald Drumpf lost in court... again. This time he lost his lawsuit over the Twitter ban. A lawsuit by former president Donald Trump seeking to overturn his ban from Twitter was dismissed by a Federal judge. The suit was filed by Trump after Twitter banned him from the online service following the fatal Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, "due to the risk of further incitement of violence." In a 17-page ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge James Donato pointed out that Trump was “not starting from a position of strength,” with the lawsuit. Donald Drumpf... LOSER! “Twitter is a private company, and ‘the First Amendment applies only to governmental abridgements of speech, and not to alleged abridgements by private companies,’” Donato wrote, citing previously established case law.
