  • US Banned from social media, Donald Trump launches his own digital platform

Former US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will file a joint lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter and Google, intensifying his battle over the alleged censorship of which he claims to be a victim by the technology giants.

"Today, along with the America First Policy Institute, I am filing as your lead representative, a major class action lawsuit against the big tech giants, including Facebook, Google, and Twitter, as well as their CEOs,

Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Jack Dorsey."

Trump told reporters at his Bedminster, NJ, golf club.

These three top executives

"implement an illegal and unconstitutional censorship," he

said during a formal speech he gave on a podium where his name was inscribed.

Viewers applauded his announcement.

"We are asking the Federal Court of the Southern District of Florida to order an immediate end to the illegal and shameful censorship by social media groups targeting Americans," he said.

"We demand (...) the end of forced silence," he claimed.

"There is no better proof that 'big tech' is out of control than the fact that they banned the incumbent president of the United States" from expressing himself on their platforms, he insisted.

"If they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone.

And also, that's exactly what they do," he justified.

However, Trump left a promise: "We are committed to a battle that we are going to win."

In June, Facebook announced its decision to suspend Trump's accounts for two years.

The Republican had already been temporarily excluded on January 7, when he was still president, for having encouraged a mass of followers a day earlier during the assault on the Capitol, the seat of Congress in Washington, an unprecedented decision.

The social network Twitter had also suspended him after the assault on the legislative headquarters in the middle of the certification session of the victory of his rival, Joe Biden, that January 6.

Before being suspended, Trump had nearly

89 million followers

on Twitter, 35 million on Facebook and 24 million on Instagram.

"Google and YouTube have removed countless videos that dared to question the criteria of the World Health Organization" (WHO) during the coronavirus pandemic, he also explained on Wednesday.
