Trump sues to reinstate his Twitter account

San Francisco, Oct 3 (IANS): Former US President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit in Florida seeking to force Twitter to reinstate his account, arguing the platform's ban violates the First Amendment and the state's new social media law.

Trump is seeking a preliminary injunction of Twitter's ban, according to the complaint filed in the Southern District of Florida late on Friday, reports The Verge.

The former President argues that Twitter, "coerced by members of the US Congress", is censoring him, describing the social media platform as "a major avenue of public discourse".

Trump seeks to be temporarily reinstated on Twitter while he continues his efforts toward permanent reinstatement.

Twitter "exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country that is immeasurable, historically unprecedented, and profoundly dangerous to open democratic debate", the complaint states.

The former President used his @RealDonaldTrump account to announce policy and personnel decisions (often to the surprise of the agencies and people involved), criticise political enemies and spread misinformation about election results.

Twitter permanently banned @RealDonaldTrump on January 4, two days after the deadly Capitol riot staged by pro-Trump supporters seeking to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.

Twitter at first put a 12-hour ban on the former President's account for "repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy" after he posted tweets repeating lies that the election was stolen.

The platform made the ban permanent two days later.

Other social platforms, including Facebook, Snapchat and YouTube, also banned Trump after the January 6 riot.

    With blocked Trump's twitter and stolen election ? communist chinese supporting liberal joe pushing slow euthanising vaccines on americans to bring more chinese and russians control ? Divine message on forceful vaccines on american by liberals to John Leary dated Friday, September 10, 2021:..... Jesus said: “My people, initially you saw how the government was trying to force your employers to have their employees take a Covid shot, or they could be fired. Employers were a little apprehensive to push this forward. Now, Biden is back to using Executive Orders to try and get the unvaccinated workers forced to take the Covid shot. There will be a challenge to this order because there is not a lot of recent deaths to justify such an overall order. The previous lock down did not slow down the spread of the virus, and now being vaccinated does not appear to stop the delta variant either. There is no true science behind this order, and it is only control over the people that Biden is pushing. These shots will endanger your people’s health because these viruses and vaccines are meant to kill people and reduce the population. Refuse to take the Covid shots because they will ruin your immune system, and vaccinated people could die from the next deadly virus. You are having a hard time finding workers, but if you fire those people, who refuse the shot, you will have even more unemployment and businesses could fail or go bankrupt. Vaccine mandates could ruin your economy, so they should be rejected. Pray for your people to find a way around these mandates.” Ref: http://www.johnleary.com/index.php/?cat=3&order=DESC
