Could Trump Sue Twitter for Banning Him

Yes, he could file a lawsuit.

No, there are no grounds for him to win.

An Institution brought a lawsuit against Trump for blocking Twitter users (and I believe the won the suit) last year. Could Trump provide a successful lawsuit against Twitter, or would it be too weak of a case?

Please no politics. I don’t care whether you like the orange man or that puppet with dementia.

His two month long rant on Twitter about election fraud hit paydirt with an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Yes, Twitter can ban Trump and he has no recourse.

The reason he was sued for blocking posters was because he was the president. If he wanted to use his Twitter account to interact with his constituents he couldn’t block them when they posted things he didn’t like.

Prior to his inauguration he was free to block users and, if he hadn’t been banned, would’ve been able to again after Biden’s inauguration.

I think he is going to be way to busy for now with his legal team once he loses the protection of the office to worry about Twitter. They will be in court for May other reasons.

Still, he has some choices to make that would prevent him a lot of heartache. If he can get pardoned by Pence, be prepared to see him step down.

Then, yes, he can try to sue Twitter.

Trump cares very much about Twitter and was said to have gone into a rage when he was banned. He's already tweeted from another account that his team is looking into developing their own platform. He has a cocaine-like addiction to Twitter.

Trump put Pence's life in danger so there is no way in hell that Pence will pardon him. Trump's betrayal of him was one of the worst in political history.

He'll never sue Twitter unless Giuliani is still around to represent him.

And I am sure Twitter wouldn't even blink even if they were to lose. These things don't face a monolithic company like Twitter. It might be interesting as a side note but i can't imagine it would have any consequence financially.

If Trump were to regain his right to post there, that would be of more significance.

This is like saying anyone on Twitter who condemned the killing of George Floyd should be banned from Twitter because they incited the months of looting, anarchy and deaths of the summer.

The fascist Islamist President dictator of Turkey has 17 million followers on Twitter. Last year he was saying that Europeans would never be able to walk safely anywhere in the world after Macron defended the teacher who was beheaded in the street for a picture of Mohammed. Days later an elderly pensioner was beheaded in a church in France and an Ialamist went on the rampage in Vienna. He paid for Islamist mercenaries with drones to massacre Armenians recently. The same Turkey that butchered over a million Armenian women and children with machetes and clubs 100 years ago in the world's first genocide. He supported ISIS in Syria and regularly threatens to let millions of immigrants pass into Europe.

Yet not one leftie has condemned Erdogen or called for him to be banned from Twitter.

If you can find a Tweet where Trump called for his followers to break into the Capitol, fair enough. He didn't. The police were taken by surprise because his followers are normally so peaceful compared to Democrat AntiFa mobs. Did the police and FEDs not follow Trump on Twitter. Did they miss the Tweets where he called for his supporters to storm the Capitol? Or did he just not make them?

You'll never learn. Trump got elected because of elitist middle-class whites looking down on the working class as scum, and instead of listening to them or trying to understand their concerns you try to silence them completely. The next Trump will likely be 100 x worse.

Does letsrun have a right to ban an individual?

Well its private owned and if the owner feels an individual is misusing its site to spread false or inflammatory rhetoric letsrun has every right to ban someone.

If you answered yes to the first question, and since the same principle is involved in Twitter's ban of Trump, you would have to think they have every right too.

I don't think I should be able to use any site to encourage illegal or harmful behavior. Its the owners right to decide what meets this criterion of inappropriateness on their privately owned site.

Sorry Trump, no twitter for you!

No, he can't sue. Trump broke the user agreement. Well, we could sue but No court in the United States of America will back Trump's side.

These Oligarch run social media need to be smashed.

Who are these billionaires to decide that the people cannot hear from the president?

Arrest them Trump.

I feel like being middle class and elitist are mutually exclusive.

Chill bro. You take yourself too seriously.

The whole Trump saga is a very good point to get rid of social media all together. Not that I expect that to happen.

People can hear from the president. There are plenty of other channels to hear from the president, you don't need twitter for that.

Trump was the first president on earth who used this feature to the absolute max. Garbage thinking flowed straight through his little fingers on to his phone to his gullible followers.

Way to many filters where removed and now we officially know that this was not a good idea.

In 12 days Trump's lawyers will be busy with all kinds of stuff. Twitter will be not part of it.

You supposedly are a Brit who lives in Central Europe. Have you ever been to U.S? Do not think you know U.S. by reading CNN on-line.

Through 1988 U.S. presidential election, Democrat party relied on traditional labor unions and teacher unions for fund raising. Democrats were out fund raised by Republicans. William Clinton ran on "Third Way." Third Way was running as a pro-choice Republican. Clinton decided to beg for funds from large U.S. corporations. Large donors know how to donate, then call a day or week later and make demands in order not to be accused of bribing politicians.

Coups engineered against U.S. Senator Bernard Sanders during Democrat primary, 2016 & Democrat primary, 2020 were engineered by large corporate donors not middle-class elites. When given a choice between voting for a lunatic or a corporate politician, highly educated U.S. citizens chose to vote for H.R. Clinton & Biden.

U.S. unlike Europe has a two party monopoly. It is not accurate to state educated middle class look down upon poor U.S. citizens.

Yeah look at all this fancy furniture they have wrote:

He is banned from Facebook and instagram too.

MSM won't let him on.

What are these other channels to hear from the president?

This is some real fascist stuff

I read that he was "unbanned" this morning. I don't like him but censorship is much worse.

Yes - Twitter is the only form of communication.

You’re a weird, little snowflake.

Where did you read that? He'll never be "unbanned". His tweets were played a big part in motivating those fanatics that attacked the Capitol and he should be censored.

Him being allowed to continue his ranting about the election and personal attacks on Biden is bad for the country. His ability to communicate with the public should be limited as much as possible. Even Newsmax and OANN should avoid him.
