https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/07/donald-trump-says-hell-sue-ceos-facebook-and-twitter/7886696002/WASHINGTON Donald Trump said Wednesday he sued the top officials of Facebook and Twitter for keeping him off social media, though legal analysts said the former president's class-action lawsuit has virtually no chance of success.
Facebook and Twitter are private companies with the right to moderate their platforms, legal analysts said, and Trump's lawsuit looks to be more of a political maneuver and fundraising opportunity.
In a news conference from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said his class-action lawsuit filed in South Florida targets CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Sundar Pichai of Google and Alphabet.
"We are going to hold Big Tech very accountable," Trump said.
I guess he just can't make it on his own, he has to use other's media.

Trump strikes me as the kind of pea-brain who, when faced with a word-limit essay in school, would paste a few plagiarized phrases into the text, and fill out the word limit with 'very, very, very, very..." etc.

to dump all the far right pro-Trump anti-science garbage they've been so pivotal in spreading?
Nah, probably not. Too much money to be made in the service of the right wing bubble.

That would, I bet, make some of these shysters think twice before playing games.

Does that individual know that regardless of what Lard Butt may promise, they'll be working pro bono?
