Federal judge in Florida says TFG Twitter case must be heard in California

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A federal judge in Florida on Tuesday said former President Trump's legal effort to have his Twitter account restored must be heard in California.

Miami-based U.S. District Judge Robert Scola Jr. ruled that Trump agreed to be bound by Twitter's terms of service in 2009 when he created his @realdonaldtrump handle while he was a private citizen. Those terms include a so-called "forum selection clause" requiring that suits against the San Francisco-based company be brought to federal court in northern California.

Scola, an Obama appointee, rejected Trump's claim that his position as a sitting president should exempt him from that requirement.

"Trump's former status as the President of the United States does not preclude the application of the forum selection clause," Scola wrote in a 13-page ruling.

1. TFG forced to move another lawsuit from Florida to California

TFG filed three really bogus lawsuits against twitter, facebook and others in Florida even though the service agreements each platform clearly provide that all lawsuits have to be brought in California. TFG claimed that he was above the law as a former POTUS and the courts basically have laughed at this claim.

Yet one more lawsuit is being moved to California
