A San Francisco judge tossed out former President Donald Trump's lawsuit challenging his permanent ban from Twitter.
U.S. District Judge James Donato said Friday that Trump failed to show Twitter violated his First Amendment right to free speech. Free speech rights don't apply to private companies and Trump failed to show Twitter was working as a state actor on behalf of Democrats, the judge wrote.
The platforms suspended Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, in which his followers violently stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden's presidential win. The companies cited concerns he would incite further violence. Legal experts had predicted the lawsuit would fail but suggested Trump would milk it for political purposes. Trump's political action committee immediately began raising money after the lawsuit was announced last year.
The act says providers such as Twitter can moderate services by removing obscene posts that violate their standards and cannot be held responsible for content posted by others.
