Trump files class action lawsuits targeting Facebook, Google and Twitter over ‘censorship’ of conservatives

The lawsuits allege that the companies violated Trump’s First Amendment rights by freezing its accounts, arguing that Facebook in particular should no longer be viewed as a private company but rather as a “state actor”, whose actions are through the First Amendment -Restrictions of state restrictions on free use are restricted speech. Traditionally it is assumed that the First Amendment only restricts state measures, not those of private companies.
