Not sure how they would do a DOJ suit for slander/libel (can never remember which is written or said, so including both terms), but maybe if the gov decides to go after them for discrimination.... don't know.

I would rather see a private alternative that could take a big chunk out of the big tech stuff, rather than have our wonderful government overlords do it for us.  Just don't know what the alternative is or would be.

Honestly can you see a private entity investing money and resources to fight it?  I can't imagine PDT taking this on while he's a sitting President.  Of course he is somewhat of a wildcard.

I did hear recently of some joke site suing facebook.  Background was they were making tons of money off of facebook, had a highly trafficked page on facebook, facebook changed their algorithm, and they are now broke.  I don't see it winning, but the guy is trying.

In a more general sense, no, I don't see any private entity fighting this unless they are directly affected like the guy above.

I see this happening only if they cut him off, ie twitter bans him for something. That's even with the recent posts he's made about "doing something". I think his lawyers (ie Jeff Sessions) will inform him that first amendment prevents him from doing anything.

Funny thing is, he's living rent free in a lot of peoples heads.
