OK, he got banned from Twitter, FB.... but there are several alternative outlets now. But it doesn't matter if you don't maximize their utility.
It's hard to argue that big tech is censoring you from getting your message out, when you can't even get your own message out on your own platforms.
Tearful Michael Avenatti sentenced to two and a half years in prison

Michael Avenatti was sentenced to two and a half years in prison Thursday after being found guilty of an extortion scheme against Nike, just one of the criminal cases against Stormy Daniels’s former lawyer and the onetime left-wing media darling.
The Justice Department’s indictment against Avenatti charged him with extortion and wire fraud, saying he tried to extort at least $22.5 million from the sporting apparel company. His three-week trial began in late January 2020, and he was found guilty the next month.
Judge Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York, the presiding judge during Avenatti’s 2020 trial, sentenced him to an aggregate sentence of 30 months. The judge said in the New York City courtroom on Thursday, “Mr. Avenatti’s conduct was outrageous. He hijacked his client’s claims, and he used those claims to further his own agenda — which was to extort millions of dollars from Nike to enrich himself.” The George W. Bush appointee added: “Mr. Avenatti had become drunk on the power of his platform, or what he perceived the power of his platform to be. He had become someone who operated as if the laws and rules that apply to everyone else didn’t apply to him.”
Geoffrey Berman, then the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in February 2020, “While the defendant may have tried to hide behind legal terms and a suit and tie, the jury clearly saw the defendant’s scheme for what it was — an old fashioned shakedown.”
Avenatti had burst on the scene with his “Basta” catchphrase in March 2018 through his representation of Daniels, an adult film star who alleged in a lawsuit she had been paid $130,000 in hush money by Michael Cohen, the onetime personal lawyer of former President Donald Trump, in October 2016 ahead of his election victory over Hillary Clinton.
Trump denied an affair with Daniels, and Cohen contended he used his own money to facilitate Daniels’s payment. Avenatti soon built a large Twitter following and made dozens of cable news appearances, even teasing a Democratic presidential run against Trump.

I thought that a while back it was announced that Trump was no longer going to be using Save America site or did I get that wrong?
What do you mean his own platforms? He didn't actually start them did he?
