Trump asks US judge to force Twitter to restore his account

13 Sept 11:24 Key points summarised by AI

Former President Donald Trump has initiated legal action in a U.S. District Court in Florida, requesting a judge to mandate Twitter's restoration of his account.
Trump's attorneys argue that Twitter's permanent suspension, enacted after the January U.S. Capitol riot, infringes upon his First Amendment rights by censoring him.
Twitter banned Trump, who had roughly 89 million followers, citing concerns that he would incite further violence following the Capitol storming.
This motion is part of a larger legal battle where Trump has also sued Facebook and YouTube, both of which suspended him over similar concerns regarding incitement to violence.
