Trump is trying to force Twitter to restore his account through the court

Former US President Donald Trump on Friday asked a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to restore his account, which the company blocked in Januaryciting the risk of incitement to violence.

Reported by Reuters.

Trump has filed a request with the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, alleging that members of the US Congress “forced” Twitter to suspend his account.

Twitter and several other social media platforms banned Trump from using his services after a crowd of his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6.

Trump’s attorneys said in a statement that Twitter “has a certain amount of power and control over political discourse in this country, historically unprecedented and deeply dangerous to open democratic debate. “

When Trump’s account was permanently deleted, Twitter explained that Trump’s tweets violated the platform’s policy, which prohibits “glorification of violence.”

What happened

Before Trump’s profile was blocked, he had over 88 million followers.

In July, Trump sued Twitter, Facebook Inc. and Google Alphabet Inc., as well as their executives, claiming that they are illegally silent on conservative points of view.
