LIVE UPDATES: North Dakota bill would allow lawsuits over big tech censorship
President Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and indefinitely banned from Facebook and Instagram after the Capitol riots
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}After being shocked by Big Tech censoring President Trump and other conservatives in recent months, Republican state lawmakers introduced a bill that would put social media giants like Twitter and Facebook in legal trouble for restricting political posts in North Dakota.
"I drafted it in December and things have only gotten worse," state Rep. Tom Kading, R-N.D., the lead sponsor of his state's bill, told "Fox & Friends" on Saturday.

"All it really does is make those who have been silenced dig in deeper and be more suspicious of what's going on."
