Also sued are the chief executives of the companies; Jack Dorsey of Twitter Inc., Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook Inc. and Sundar Pichai of Google.

The 3 class-action lawsuits seek to have court orders to restore Trumps social media accounts.

The suits also seek punitive damages to ensure the giant tech companies cannot ban or flag users who violate their policies.

Trumps ban from the major social media platforms came following the riots that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
