What’s Behind Trump’s Big Tech Lawsuit

Hey all, it’s Kurt. Donald Trump built his presidency on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google’s YouTube. But times have certainly changed. On Wednesday, Trump sued all three companies, and their respective chief executive officers, claiming they violated the First Amendment by banning or suspending his accounts following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

On the surface, a former U.S. president personally suing the CEOs of some of the country’s largest technology companies sounds like a huge deal. As with many things Trump, the reality is more subdued.
