Trump Threatens to Close Down Twitter to Protect Free Speech https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-threatens-to-close-down-twitter-to-protect-free-speech?ref=home Trump Threatens to Close Down Twitter to Protect Free Speech YOU’RE BLOCKED Jamie Ross, Reporter Published May. 27, 2020 7:27AM ET Who could have predicted President Trump would react so angrily to being fact-checked by Twitter? The president has threatened to close down social-media companies that “silence conservatives voices,” one day after Twitter added a fact-check label to one of his posts. On Tuesday, Trump tweeted, without providing any evidence, that mail-in ballots would lead to widespread fraud—and Twitter’s new label system merely pointed out that it was an unsubstantiated claim. Clearly infuriated, Trump tweeted Wednesday morning: “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that happen again.” The president then went on to repeat his baseless claim that mail-in-ballots would lead directly to more voting fraud.

Phoenix Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 These social media platforms could be dealt with using current laws. The govt doesn't want that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
