The presence of the former American president on social networks has always been discussed throughout his term. After months of warnings, Twitter stopped Trump from posting, closing the account. The platform cited "the risk that the statements had to incite violence".
Facebook took a similar action, banning Trump for at least two years. Then, the former president said that "the platform was boring anyway", but now, he has started a lawsuit against all the presidents of social networks on behalf of the victims of "cancel culture".
Cancel culture - A modern-day term used when a public or influential figure makes a career-cost mistake, ie "canceled".
Trump made an announcement today regarding his lawsuits against Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Pichai, broadcast by RSBN. His trial is being backed by the American First Policy Institute, a nonprofit organization launched for Trump policies.

Trump lawsuits will also allow him to sue on behalf of people he thinks have been affected by Facebook and Twitter censorship.
"They can no longer continue with censorship and silence. Our country can not take this abuse. What Google, Twitter and Facebook have done is a great shame for our country. They took away the president's free speech because they were afraid. "But the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever," Trump said.
Regarding the statements, the CEOs of the major platforms have simply said that "they did what they would do in any case when there is a violation and there is a risk", implying that "it was not personal towards Trump". However, he obviously does not think so.
