Trump asks US judge to force Twitter to restore his account

Former president Donald Trump has asked a judge to force Twitter to restore his account, which the company suspended in January following the storming of the US Capitol.

Mr Trump’s attorneys filed a motion in the US District Court in Miami seeking a preliminary injunction against Twitter and its CEO, Jack Dorsey.

They argue that Twitter is censoring Mr Trump in violation of his First Amendment rights, according to the motion.

Twitter declined to comment on Mr Trump’s filing.

The company permanently banned Mr Trump from its platform days after his followers violently stormed the Capitol building in Washington to try to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential win.

Twitter cited concerns that Mr Trump would incite further violence. Prior to the ban, Mr Trump had roughly 89 million followers on Twitter.

Mr Trump was also suspended from Facebook and Google’s YouTube over similar concerns that he would provoke violence.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
