Do you know what terms of service mean?This case does not involve terms of service.You know what the most important thing of all? This suit against FB & Twitter has been filed in Florida but...Laughing....everyone noticed but you. You still refuse to even read the 1st amendment....as it obliterates Trump's entire legal argument in its first word. Among actual legal experts....this is yet another laughing stock piece of pseudo-legal nonsense.And no one noticed that but you. All those legal minds, two lawsuits and you are the only one to figure it out.Odd. I did not get a request for money.
When the judge certifies the class he or she will also set the amount of the fund. This isn't the only such case.
The lawyers will be paid out of the legal fund the judge will order.So the lawyers are working for free? Of course not. They're getting paid.No one sends in donations. This is a class action lawsuit. The judge will set the amount to go in the pool and the defendants will fund it. Fees and costs will be paid out of that fund. Trump doesn't even need to kick in a dime.Trump doesn't need any money for this.And you can help our legal case and own the libs by sending us some money!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Its the Nigerian Prince scam all over again. Only dumber.
Oh, he's not paying. He's getting paid. All you rubes are going to send in 'donations' to his 'class action litigation'. And a small fraction will go to pay the 'experienced litigators' saying whatever Trump tells them to say. The rest will go in his pocket.
Dipshits are gonna dip, Tipsy. At this point, its hard to feel sympathy for you poor suckers getting fleeced yet again by the same con man.
And this silly piece of meaningless pseudo-legal gibberish is just a fundraising operation to part more money from you poor, guillable souls.
You're being played. Again.
This is a fascinating case to discuss. If only there was someone who really understood the issues.
Trump announced the 'class action lawsuits' at 12:01. At 12:03.....the pleas for donations started.

Trump announces lawsuits against Facebook and Twitter, immediately starts fundraising off it
Within minutes of his announcement, Trump began fundraising off of his lawsuits against Facebook and Twitter, promising a 5x matching donation.www.businessinsider.com
This is just another grift to part gulliable dipshits from yet more of their money. The first word of the 1st amendment puts Trump's entire pseudo-legal argument to bed.
Legal scholars suggest former president’s complaint may bring the attention he craves but doesn’t present a serious legal argument
“Trump has the first amendment argument exactly wrong,” said Paul Barrett, the deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights. “The first amendment applies to government censorship or speech regulation. It does not stop private sector corporations from regulating content on their platforms.”....
.....Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University in California, has studied more than 60 similar, failed lawsuits over the past few decades that sought to take on internet companies for terminating or suspending users’ accounts. He says Trump’s lawsuits are unlikely to go far.
“They’ve argued everything under the sun, including first amendment, and they get nowhere,” Goldman said. “Maybe he’s got a trick up his sleeve that will give him a leg up on the dozens of lawsuits before him. I doubt it.”

Trump plunges GOP’s anti-tech crusade deeper into the courts
"This lawsuit is a stunt," one legal expert said. It's also the latest in a growing Republican trend of asking judges to rein in Silicon Valley's policing of online speech.www.politico.com
“This lawsuit is a stunt, and it's unlikely to find traction in the courts,” said Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University — adding that Trump’s legal claims are “not at all persuasive” and run afoul of his own record as president.

“Trump and his lawyers need to read the first line of the First Amendment,” Barbara McQuade, a professor from practice at the University of Michigan law school, tweeted. “His lawsuit complaining of censorship against private social media companies and their leaders is going nowhere.”

Trump Battles Facebook, Twitter Without Aid of Free Speech Pros
Former President Donald Trump’s free speech fight with Twitter, Facebook, and Google rests on a pair of trial lawyers best known for their work in major personal injury cases—not First Amendment disputes.news.bloomberglaw.com
“Public relations seems a greater motivation than actual legal analysis,” Martha Minow, a Harvard Law professor who is among several constitutional law scholars that have questioned the argument, told Bloomberg Law.
.......
Constitutional law scholar Erwin Chemerinsky called the suits “frivolous.”
“Facebook, Google, and Twitter are private entities and the First Amendment does not apply to them,” Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, told Bloomberg Law. “This is not an open question.”
.......
“I think the lawsuit has almost no chance of success,” Vanderbilt University law professor Brian Fitzpatrick told CNBC, given that the companies are privately controlled and are not beholden to the same speech laws that public platforms are. “I think this is just a public relations lawsuit, and I’ll be honest with you, I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends with sanctions against the lawyers for filing a frivolous lawsuit,” Fitzpatrick concluded.
But 'no one noticed', Tipsy? You've been played again, rube.
Facebook's terms of service requires that "any claim, cause of action, or dispute you have against us" be filed in federal court in northern California or San Mateo County state court.
Twitter's terms of service - which courts generally enforce - require that "all disputes related to these Terms or the Services will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in San Francisco County."
So, either the trumpy lawyers are incompetent (no surprises there) or the whole case is frivolous and has been filed just to grift money from his mouth-breathing idiotic ever-gullible trumptards. Knowing full well that it will be dismissed.
