Former U.S. President Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Florida on Friday to ask Twitter to restore his account, which the company removed in January citing a risk of incitement of violence.

Trump sought a preliminary injunction in Florida against Twitter. The request was made by Trump claiming that Twitter had been “coerced” to suspend his account.

Twitter, along with several social media platforms, banned Trump from using their services. This was after his supporters staged a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol.

This attack came after Trump’s speech in which he repeated false allegations that November’s election loss was due to widespread fraud. Multiple courts and election officials rejected this assertion.

Trump’s attorneys stated in the filing that Twitter “exercises an immeasurable degree of control over political discourses in this country” and described it as “historically unprecedented and dangerously dangerous to open democratic dialogue.” Bloomberg reported the filing earlier.

Twitter refused to comment when Reuters contacted them about the filing.

Twitter was notified that Trump had been removed from his account.  his tweets had violated the platform’s policy barring “glorification of violence”. According to The Company, Trump’s tweets which led to the removal were “highly unlikely” to encourage others to duplicate what took place in the Capitol riots.

Trump was a Twitter guru before he was banned. He had over 88 million Twitter followers.

Trump stated that Twitter was allowed for the Taliban’s to use Twitter to report on their victories over the Taliban, but that he had censored them during his presidency, labeling their tweets as “misleading” or indicting they broke the company rules against “glorifying violence”.

For July Trump sued Twitter, Facebook Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google, as well as their chief executives, alleging they unlawfully silence conservative viewpoints.
