The former US president accused the social network of “censorship”, after being banned in January 2021 for incitement to violence. Article written by Published on 07/05/2022 07:55 Updated on 07/05/2022 08:16 Reading time: 1 min. Donald Trump was unsuccessful. A California court ruled Friday, May 6, a complaint by the former President of the United States against Twitter inadmissible. The billionaire wanted to be able to return to the social network from which he was banned for inciting violence in January 2021. The Republican leader and his co-plaintiffs accuse Twitter of “censorship”, in violation of their guaranteed right to freedom of expression by the US Constitution. But “the plaintiffs are not in a strong position,” said California judge James Donato, because “Twitter is a private company, and ‘the First Amendment only applies to government-imposed speech restrictions’ ( …)”. The platform’s rules “give contractual permission to Twitter to act as it wishes with any account or content, for any reason, and even for no reason,” it adds. Donald Trump was banned from major networks (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) after his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, which he is accused of having encouraged. The platforms had justified their decision by the risk of further incitement to violence. The move comes as Elon Musk reached an agreement with Twitter’s board of directors to buy the California-based company for $44 billion. The boss of Tesla wants to make it a bastion of freedom of expression, within the limits provided for by law but with a moderation of content much less restrictive than currently. He considers, like many conservatives, that Twitter is “censoring”. Before being ousted from Twitter, the former head of state had some 89 million subscribers there. Donald Trump, however, recently told American media that he had no intention of returning to the platform even if Elon Musk invited him back. He launched his own social network in February, called “Truth Social”. Share: Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share by email Share link
