Judge Boots Trump’s Suit Seeking To Lift Twitter Ban

CNBC reports:

A judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by former President Donald Trump seeking to lift his ban from Twitter. The social media giant had banned Trump on Jan. 8, 2021, citing the risk of the incitement of further violence on the heels of the Capitol riot by a mob of supporters of the then-president two days earlier.

Trump, the American Conservative Union, and five individuals had sued Twitter and its co-founder Jack Dorsey last year on behalf of themselves and a class of other Twitter users who had been booted from the app.

The ruling comes nearly two weeks after Trump told CNBC he had no interest in returning to Twitter even if his ban were to be lifted by Elon Musk.
