WASHINGTON – Donald Trump said Wednesday he has sued the top officials of Facebook and Twitter for keeping him off social media, even as legal analysts said his 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, N.J., 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.
