Trump has filed a preliminary lawsuit against Twitter in the U.S. District Court for the South Florida District, arguing that the company was "forced" by members of the US Congress to suspend his account.
Twitter and many others social platforms banned Trump from them services them, when a crowd of his supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6.
The attack came after a speech by Trump, in which he repeated false allegations that his non-election in November was due to widespread fraud, a claim that was rejected by many courts.
Twitter "exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country, something that is historically unprecedented and deeply dangerous to any democratic debate," Trump's lawyers said.
When Twitter shut down Trump, he said his tweets violated the platform's policy of banning "praise of violence." The company said at the time that Trump's tweets were "very likely" to encourage people to repeat what happened at the Capitol.
Before he was banned, Trump had more than 88 millions Twitter followers.
The petition filed by Trump alleges that Twitter allows the Taliban to tweet about their military victories across Afghanistan, but censors him during duration of his presidency by calling his tweets "misleading" or suggesting they violate the company's rules against "glorification of violence."
In July, Trump sued Twitter, Facebook Inc and its Google A Inc, as well as their executives, alleging that they are illegally silencing conservative opinions.
