A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed last year by former President Donald Trump against Twitter and its then-CEO Jack Dorsey due to alleged censorship, a problem that a potential new owner of the company, Elon Musk, said would clamp down.
U.S. District Judge James Danata The Northern District of California on Friday handed down a verdict against Mr. Trump and other plaintiffs seeking collective action status against a social media company, saying their Twitter accounts were censored by Twitter, not violating their rights under the First Amendment. Mr. Trump was the most notorious plaintiff in the case.
