According to sources, President Trump’s social media platform is launching THIS MONTH and time is running out for you to pledge to join.
Highlighing is in the original.
Butbutbut, didn't TFG's lawyers just tell a court in his suit against all the mean social medias that TFG must be allowed back because his social media platform won't be ready for months, and months, and months, and building one is really hard because you need to hire people who know how to build one, and find a publically traded company to partner with provide all the money & take all hits when it fails?

It's like right tiny little hand doesn't know what the left tiny little hand is doing.

Trump’s First Amendment lawsuit against Twitter on thin ice
A federal judge signaled a strong inclination Thursday to dismiss former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against Twitter for kicking him off its platform in 2021.

U.S. District Judge James Donato told a lawyer representing the former president that while technology and law might change and evolve, “one thing that's been more or less a constant going back 20 years is that private companies like Twitter are not subject to the First Amendment.”
“You've got a mountain of law saying ‘no' to your First Amendment claim. It’s not clear to me how you are traversing that,” Donato told Trump’s attorney Marie Fiala.

He said the U.S. Supreme Court made a “very definitive statement” in its 2019 ruling Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck that private entities cannot be considered state actors bound by the First Amendment.

In that case, two filmmakers objected to being kicked off the Manhattan Neighborhood Network for producing a film criticizing the public access channel. The high court found the channel did not function as a state actor because “operating public access channels on a cable system is not a traditional, exclusive public function.”

This probably doesn't bode well for Loomer's newest lawsuit against Twitter.
