Donald Trump wants a federal court to make Twitter give him back his bullhorn.
Twitter said the ban was “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
In July,Trump sued over the Twitter ban.
One researcher found that the week after the ban,online misinformation about election fraud fell by 73%.
However, someTrump tweets that were blocked over election misinformationcontinue to circulate on other platforms.
Twitter wasn’t alone in booting Trump.
The former presidentsued those platformsalongside Twitter, alleging censorship and First Amendment violations.
“Are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints?
Period,“Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has saidin the past.
“We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology.
We look at behavior.”
TheFirst Amendment applies to the government, not to private companieslike social media sites.
