A federal judge in San Francisco tossed a lawsuit from former President Trump against Twitter because of its decision to ban him from the platform after the January 6 riots in Washington D.C.In his suit, Trump alleged that Twitter and other social media companies which moved to curb his speech were acting as de facto government agents and were therefore infringing on his first amendment rights. “The amended complaint does not plausibly allege a First Amendment claim against Twitter,” said U.S. District Court Judge James Donato in a 17 page ruling Friday. Donato was appointed to the bench by former President Obama.
