Trump sued over Truth Social's paid-access API, citing First and Fifth Amendment violations

The Freedom of the Press Foundation and The Intercept are the plaintiffs, arguing that this tiered access infringes upon constitutional rights to equal access to presidential communications. They seek to have the Truth API declared unconstitutional and to prevent exclusive posting of government information on Truth Social. AI
