Former President Donald Trump, who has been banned from most major social media platforms, will announce a class-action lawsuit Wednesday against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The lawsuit represents the latest development in the blow-up between Trump and Big Tech companies such as Facebook and Twitter regarding censorship and content moderation.

The suit is being filed in U.S. District Court for Florida’s southern district by America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit group focused on aiding Trump’s policies. The organization confirmed to Washington Examiner that it was helping Trump’s legal effort.

The class-action lawsuits will allow Trump to represent a larger group of affected people that he says have been unfairly censored by problematic content moderation policies.

Under Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, internet companies are generally exempt from liability for the material that users post. The law, which provides a legal “safe harbor” for internet companies, also allows social media platforms to moderate their services by removing posts that, for instance, are obscene or violate the services’ own standards, so long as they are acting in “good faith.”

But Trump and other politicians have long argued that Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms have abused that protection and should lose their immunity – or at least have to earn it by satisfying requirements set by the government.

Facebook, Google and Twitter all declined comment Wednesday.

Although Trump’s voice online has been muzzled thanks to the bans imposed over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, many of his statements have continued to spread far and wide on social media.
