Trump says he is suing Facebook, Google, Twitter and their CEOs

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is suing Facebook, Google and Twitter, as well as their CEOs. Facebook suspended him and Twitter permanently banned him following the January 6th Capitol riot. CBSN's Anne-Marie Green has more.

Very little chance this suit is ever actually filed, its just theatre keep his base engaged and his fundraising grift going. The first amendment does not apply to private companies, so this has no legal standing.

I'm happy not to hear from him EVER again!!! He said he would leave the country if Biden won the election. He lied about that too!!! When will he just leave us alone????

[ashroskell]

They have the money to counter sue. Hope they squash him at his own games.

[Skeptic]

The guy that tried to shut down Tik Tok now wants to sue Facebook.

How the turn tables.

[Leo-vcrx]

What quality attorneys would support his case? They should realize they will never get paid.

[jakediddy]

When people tell the truth about him he sues them. He demands his brand of fascism with insolence.

[helvis]

add another one to the thousands of frivolous lawsuits he has filed over the years...

[BobJWolf]

They took his mouth piece away and he wants to cry about it

[Matt-xcsp]

How does he keep getting lawyers?! Hope this guy got paid up front.

[carloslara]

I know what He's doing this, He needs money to pay for his lawyers. Keep trying Donnie, this will die in Courts.This are privates companies and you have to abide by their rule.

"Now accepting donations to fight this injustice..."

[jimmyr]

Frivolous lawsuit. These companies have the right and the obligation to NOT let their platforms be used by a lunatic to spread outright lies, rather than just admit he got TROUNCED in a fair and square election.

[CarlosRamirez-wbzu]

"We should be allowed to tell lies without any accountability." That gonna sound great in front of a judge!

[ravern]

It's not censorship, these are private companies that can ban who they want just like a shop can.

[kathywhite-bagby]

Please, you just missing all that money! America, sue him for all the lives lost to Covid-19!

[btran]

He use these lawsuits to keep his bases interested and giving him $$$$. I guess he figured out that making from his base is easier than doing real business

[michaelneedssleep]

Good luck with that. These companies can afford lawyers. They’re not like the parties he normally sues (ordinary people he ripped off, etc)

[QuakerLady]

He violated the terms of service. He basically censored himself.

[TNBushcrafter]

Someone's narcissism is showing. Can't have himself brought down to the level of us peons. The same reason lawsuits against him have been unsuccessful. He ties them up in litigation, otherwise he'd be a failure and have to admit to wrongdoing. Narcissistic behavior just can't have this. He is a failure amongst his peers and even forefathers. This is the reason for constantly lashing out and trying to lay blame on others. When one of these companies finally sues him into oblivion, all will be right in the world.

[asoc]

You violated the terms of agreement, Donald trump.
