TFG's lawyers are begging a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to restore his account

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are urging a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to reinstate his account.

In a preliminary injunction against Twitter filed Friday in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, his lawyers argued in part that the social media platform has been suspending accounts arbitrarily.

The Taliban, for example, has been able to "tweet regularly about their military conquests and victories across Afghanistan" since early August, his lawyers wrote.

Twitter "exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country that is immeasurable, historically unprecedented, and profoundly dangerous to open democratic debate," lawyers for Trump wrote.

Problem of it is most of TFG's Tweets were childish bullshit rather than political debate. Guess he needs something to do on those many nights he can't sleep.

1. Ban the Taliban, too

Problem fixed.

2. Wasn't he saying Twitter was going to fail without him on it back in January or so? (nt)

3. Toddler having a twitter tantrum.

What a baby he is.

4. Nothing is stopping him from setting up his own website, hosted on his own servers,

and publishing whatever he wants. That's what the First Amendment allows. A private company is not required to be consistent or fair in who it allows to use its property. At least not under the Constitution. Congress could pass a law — but even then, Twitter also has rights under the Constitution, because of corporate personhood.

5. I'm assuming these lawyers are either content to TRY to milk him dry or are as incompetent as

his election lawyers. Yeah, right. A court is going to order a private business to reinstate your access to their service after you have repeatedly violated their well-published TOS. Let's see all that precedence that supports that case.

6. Would a private company have to comply if Republican Judge orders Twitter to reverse its policy?

10. Seems Like It Would Take Some Incredible...

...legal gymnastics for them to do that.
I'm no lawyer, but I can't imagine what precedent exists to force a company to offer services to someone that broke their easily obtainable terms of service on multiple occasions.
My guess is that the headlines gotten for this judicial temper tantrum is as much the goal as is getting reinstated.

7. I despise the Taliban, but they don't lie quite as much as TFFG does.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

8. Give him two walkie-talkies and tell him to STFU.

Maybe Stephen Miller will play with him.

9. Ok lol, that quote from his lawyers is truly some Orwellian level doublespeak..

Also, twitter isnt meant to BE OPEN to democratic debate, because (once AGAIN) ITS PRIVATE FUCKING PROPERTY!!!

I suppose on balance, as long as hes in court groveling, he isnt fucking anything else up worse.

That's right, Donald, I said GROVEL with your tiny inadequate little hands.

11. they make a great argument for the taliban being banned........

but two wrongs don't make a right

besides i thought drumpf had his own platform now for real americans to post on? why does he even want his twitter account back? isn't his platform a smashing success???????????

[SKKY]

12. Wait, wasn't he supposed to make his own platform? I heard Jason Miller use...

...phrases like "Next-generation" and "blows away anything else currently on the market". Well, he got one thing right. It sure does blow.
