Trump Announces Lawsuits Against Twitter, Facebook and Google
The Washington Times cites Director for the Center for Technology and Innovation Jessica Melugin on Trump’s legal actions against social media platforms:
The free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute argued that Mr. Trump’s litigation is not serious.
“These social media platforms are private property, not the government town square, and are well within their First Amendment rights to refuse to carry speech of third parties. This principle holds even with the former President of the United States and is the constitutional right of every citizen. This lawsuit is a publicity stunt intended for political gain, not a serious legal argument,” said Jessica Melugin, director of the think tank’s Center for Technology and Innovation.
