Trump to sue Big Tech CEOs Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey over censorship

Former President Donald Trump, who has been banned from most major social media platforms, will announce a class-action lawsuit Wednesday against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The lawsuit represents the latest development in the blow-up between Trump and Big Tech companies such as Facebook and Twitter regarding censorship and content moderation.

The suit is being filed by America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit group focused on aiding Trump's policies. The organization confirmed to Washington Examiner that it was helping Trump’s legal effort.

The class-action lawsuits will allow Trump to represent a larger group of affected people that he says have been unfairly censored by problematic content moderation policies.

Although Trump's voice online has been muzzled thanks to the bans imposed over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, many of his statements have continued to spread far and wide on social media.
