The lawsuit will be a class-action, with Trump as the lead plaintiff, claiming that he's been censored by the companies. There were three separate complaints filed in Miami federal court under Trump's name Wednesday, one against each of the social media giants. "While the social media companies are officially private entities, in recent years they have ceased to be private with the enactment and their historical use of Section 230, which profoundly protects them from liability," Trump said. Trump called social media companies "the de facto censorship arm of the U.S. Weissmann said the idea that tech companies "benefiting from a law prevents them from being private is asinine."
