Lawsuit Plaintiffs Accuse Big Tech of Wanting to ‘Take Down’ President Trump
Lawyers representing GOP congressional candidate Laura Loomer and the conservative nonprofit Freedom Watch have asked the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals to take up a case that alleges big tech companies like Facebook and Google discriminate against conservative content.

The filing alleges that the ultimate motive of big tech companies that have censored Republicans and conservative over the past few years is to reduce President Donald Trump’s chances of reelection.

The aim of this conspiracy to suppress politically conservative content is to ‘take down President Donald Trump’ and his administration,” says the filing.

Lawyer Larry Klayman explained to WND that the filing “asks the full appellate court to overturn the dismissal of their class action complaint against social media companies for restraint of trade, attempted monopolization and illegal political discrimination in a public forum against conservatives, libertarians, and people of faith, as the law in the District of Columbia forbids such discrimination.”

“The three-judge panel who originally heard the case issued a very short opinion affirming the lower court’s dismissal by a Trump-appointed judge, Trevor McFadden, who improperly deep-sixed the case because he took it upon himself, rather than allowing it to go to discovery and then a jury trial, to decide it was not plausible. However, contrary to Judge McFadden’s improper dismissal, the Antitrust Division, my alma mater, does find it plausible and is about to file a similar suit against Google.

Klayman said that the ultimate purpose of Big Tech censorship is to “harm anyone who supports President Trump and Republican candidates, as well as publishes conservative, libertarian and faith-based content in general.”

In a comment to Breitbart News, Laura Loomer, who is running in the Republican primary to contest Florida’s 21st congressional district, said tackling big tech censorship is crucial to Trump’s reelection chances.

“My legal battle against the Silicon Valley Big Tech Tyrants is America’s battle,” said Loomer “For far too long, these companies have been silencing peaceful political speech in an effort to support the political agenda of Left.”

“The massive censorship and cancel culture campaign these companies are currently participating in through an anti-competitive and discriminatory collaboration is primarily being used as a tool to target and silence conservatives and supporters of President Trump in an effort to help the Democrats win the 2020 election.”

President Donald Trump speaks during the "Presidential Social Media Summit" in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, July 11, 2019, in Washington.

The Latest: Trump Says Big Tech Can't Be Allowed to Censor
President Donald Trump says big tech companies must not be allowed to censor the voices of the American people on social media.
Trump is speaking at a White House conference highlighting the president's belief that the nation's biggest social media companies are biased against conservatives.

Trump says he's directing his administration to explore all regulatory and legislative solutions to protect the free speech rights of all Americans.

He also says he's going to invite representatives of major social media platforms to the White House to discuss the issue.

A trade group representing Facebook, Google and dozens of other tech companies insists that internet companies are not biased against any political ideology and that conservative voices have effectively used social media.

President Donald Trump says social media allows messages to be sent directly to the people without going through the "fake news filter."

Trump says social media users are "challenging the media gatekeepers and corporate censors to bring the truth to the American people." Trump spoke at a White House conference exploring bias against conservatives by the nation's biggest social media companies.

Tech companies are notably absent from the event. A spokesman for a trade group representing Facebook, Google and dozens of other tech companies says, "Internet companies are not biased against any political ideology, and conservative voices in particular have used social media to great effect."

The conference gives Trump a chance to energize online bloggers and Twitter users who have rallied behind his presidency as he seeks re-election.

President Donald Trump, who has weaponized social media to eviscerate opponents and promote himself, is convening a White House conference of like-minded critics of Big Tech, notably excluding representatives from the very platforms he exploits.

The meeting represents an escalation of his battle with companies like Facebook, Google, and even his preferred communications outlet, Twitter. The president has claimed, without evidence, that the companies are "against me" and even suggested U.S. regulators should sue them on grounds of anti-conservative bias.
The high-profile White House event raises the prospect of Trump using the forum to signal tough actions ahead by his administration against big tech companies in the areas of competition and privacy.
