Trump Amends Big Tech Lawsuit as 65,000 Americans Submit Censorship Stories
Epoch Times ^ | August 2, 2021 | BY TOM OZIMEK

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has amended his class action lawsuit against Big Tech to incorporate additional class representatives and more censorship stories provided by everyday Americans.

According to the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Trump’s July 7 lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter, and Google is adding ”additional censorship experiences” from some of the nearly 65,000 people who submitted them to the institute.

”Late last night, Amended Complaints were filed in the Big Tech lawsuits against Facebook, Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter, Inc., Jack Dorsey, Google LLC, and Sundar Pichai,” AFPI said in a July 28 statement.

“Since the initial filing on July 7, 2021, nearly 65,000 American people have submitted their stories of censorship through America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Constitutional Litigation Partnership (CLP) at TakeOnBigTech.com,” AFPI added.

Trump said at a July 7 press conference outlining his plans for the legal action that he expected thousands of people would join his lawsuit. Several people invited to speak at the press conference shared their experiences of what they said amounted to censorship by social media platforms.

“Joining us this morning are just a few of the many Americans who have been illegally banned or silenced under the corrupt regime of censorship,” Trump said at the time.

“These brave patriots are included in the lawsuit and thousands more are joining as we speak. Thousands more. They’re all wanting to join. This will be, I think will go down as the biggest class action ever filed,” Trump predicted.

Nah. After he and The Zuck lose the lawsuit, he plans to live in a tent city in Pelosi’s district. Ne needs to look — and smell -— the part.

The leftist-controlled court will just declare: “No standing”, and throw it out.

Trump’s lawyer told Bill O’Reilly they have a 75 percent chance of winning this case. A really good shot. Think positively.

These kind of crowd sourced legal complaints should have been happening for years!

I’m trying, but with so many “No Standing” edicts used by leftist courts, it’s difficult.
