Dude likes burning money on lawsuits he's going to lose. But I suppose it feeds his delusional fantasy world view.

Didn't click the link but I assume it's some more leftist BS...

... and I've got sent to FB jail for Trump posts I made OVER A YEAR AGO which further shows the political motivation.

FB is actually paying scrubs to troll profiles looking for Trump posts.

A couple weeks ago the FB fact checking police told me my post about Biden's America wasn't totally accurate... claiming the skyrocketing prices on everything from gas to lumber are due to the pandemic. Again... politically motivated.

Trump may not get anywhere with the lawsuit... but that doesn't change the fact that FB, Twitter etc... are no different than the MSM with their bias.

Gotta laugh at a couple of things:

the article states a press release on Thursday - um, it's Wednesday

the article states he is starting a class action suit - um, he can't, class action suits are created by the courts when there are a number of suits for the same thing

Another important issue here is the FCC Fairness Doctrine which was revoked and we've seen the degeneration of news reporting that ensued. Legislators need to take another look at this. People should approach this in the interest of truth and fairness, not partisanship. Also the lack of trust in the media has led to problems disseminating information in an emergency (eg pandemic).
Perhaps you should know what the Fairness Doctrine was and wasn't, and why it was enacted in the first place, before commenting. The Fairness Doctrine (which ended during the Reagan administration, by the way) applied only to broadcast television and radio, and applied only to local broadcast stations and not to networks such as CBS. The Fairness Doctrine did not regulate news reporting.

As usual, Trump doesn't know which freedoms are guaranteed by the Constitution and which are not.

Isn't that the platform any time an incumbent is opposed?

No, but they can ban people for violating terms of service, which is what happened to Trump.

As far as I am aware, virtually every time they try to cover up stories under the guise of stopping "misinformation," it eventually turns out that they narrative that they are promoting and anointed as "science" or "proven" turns out to be wrong, while the supposed "misinformation" has been "debunked" frequently turns out to be correct after all.

In other words, virtually every time they start censoring certain storylines, it is their narrative that they are promoting and protecting that turns out to actually be the "misinformation".

Problem is, it's usually someone else's money.
On the other hand, if his rube supporters wish to finance the petty grievances of an old man I'm not going to stand in their way...

But how would you like it if leftist candidates stuck their campaign signs in your front yard? Hell, no. It's no different from Facebook and Twitter not appreciating what Trump posted on their webspace, so they removed him. How would you like if you got sued for removing campaign signs the leftists posted in your front yard? Not at all. I thought so.

Anyone can file a class action lawsuit, so long as there is a "class" to be represented.

Trump has contempt for his own base. He sees his people as a piggybank and fuel feeding his narcissism.
