“This isn’t how it works”: Trump’s performative lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter is a futile stunt

Salon  

Donald Trump announced multiple lawsuits against social media companies on Wednesday, but his dubious claim that tech giants are "government" actors violating his First Amendment rights means that the complaints are destined to fall apart under scrutiny, much like his numerous election lawsuits. Trump was flanked at the news conference by others banned from social media platforms for violating their policies who have joined his lawsuits, but he predicted that "thousands" of others would sign on. "Just a sad, little man," tweeted Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. Trump's argument effectively boils down to completely unsupported claims that social media companies somehow qualify as "government" actors and that Section 230 is unconstitutional. Trump went on to claim that the social media companies have been "co-opted" by the government to become the "enforcers of illegal, unconstitutional censorship at the highest level."
