65,000 Americans join Trump against big techs

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has been forced to modify its class action lawsuit against Big Tech to incorporate additional cases of discrimination and unjustified cancellation provided by the Americans.

According to the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Trump's July 7 lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter and Google is adding "more cases of censorship" by some of the nearly 65,000 people who filed them at the institute.

"Late last night, the changes to complaints in Big Tech's lawsuits against Facebook, Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter, Inc., Jack Dorsey, Google LLC and Sundar Pichai were filed," AFPI said in a statement on the 28th. July.

"Since the initial filing of July 7, 2021, nearly 65,000 Americans have submitted their censorship stories through the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) Constitutional Litigation Partnership (CLP) to TakeOnBigTech.com," added AFPI.

The former president expected, as he announced on July 7, at the presentation of the lawsuit, to have a strong response from the Americans, and he certainly did not expect it of this size.

"Only a few of the many Americans who were illegally banned or silenced under the corrupt regime of censorship joined us this morning," Trump said at the time.

“These brave patriots are included in the cause and thousands more are joining as we speak. Thousands more. They all want to join. This will, I think, be considered the biggest class action ever filed, ”Trump predicted.

Among those who have joined Trump to fight social media censorship are not only right-wing figures, but bipartisan figures. For example, Dr. Naomi Wolf and Wayne Allyn Root joined together, individuals at opposite ends of the political spectrum who highlight the need to protect the freedom of thought and speech of all Americans.

Wolf, a longtime liberal and former political campaign advisor to both Bill Clinton and Al Gore, said in a recent interview with EpochTV's "American Thought Leaders" that the growing number of people banned from Big Tech platforms is leading to a wave of self-censorship.

Wolf, who was banned from Twitter in June on suspicion of sharing so-called misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, said the "chilling effect" his ban has had on other journalists is also evident because they have. directly narrated about the self-censorship they undergo.

“I've received so many emails from other reporters saying, 'I really admire you, I'm so sorry you got banned.' And when I said 'well, can you say it publicly?' They universally said 'I would, but I'm really afraid of being banned.' And I've seen the self-censorship that has gone on in the wake of some high-profile banned journalists ",

So not only was Trump's big tech initiative a great success and it shows the hatred these companies are reaping with their censorship.
