President Trump with visiting Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. By Tony Romm Tony Romm Staff writer covering technology policy Email Bio Follow March 19 at 3:48 PM President Trump on Tuesday sharply criticized Facebook, Google and Twitter for allegedly censoring conservatives, accusing the companies of “collusion” and a “hatred they have for a certain group of people that happen to be in power, that happen to have won the election.
Trump’s latest attacks on the tech industry come a day after Rep. Devin Nunes , one of the White House’s allies, said he’d filed a lawsuit against Twitter and some of its users for defamation. Nunes is seeking $250 million in damages in a complaint that alleges the company is hiding tweets from conservative-leaning users without their knowledge. Twitter long has denied that it has engaged in the tactic, called “shadow banning,” to censor users’ political beliefs.
In the past, Trump has threatened regulation in response, even suggesting at one point last year that the administration could take aim at the way Google displays its search results. Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic adviser, said during an interview aired on C-SPAN last week that tech giants including Facebook and Google also are on the White House’s radar over other issues, such as privacy. “I’m not going to give you a clear view, but I will say we are looking at it,” Kudlow said.
Poor Donnie!
But they seem to let trump's tweets through
Like this guy ever tells the truth ... he can’t even win a debate against a dead man. Indict the scumbag. losertrump
Facebook accused of 'collusion' and a 'hatred they have for a certain group of people who happen to be in power.' And that because Donald trump one of those in that certain group . A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame .
Its freedom of speech get over it
I wish someone would censored him.
Did he mention the FOREIGN countries who are more than likely eavesdropping on HIS cell phone? Oh! He only lashed out at Americans? Oh ...
I presume any extremist in power is free to say he is the new norm . It is what happends when you loose against evil . Good luck
Again do not quote him. We don't care what he says. Seriously?
Irony is truly alive and well!! Behold the Facebook President who has meltdowns on Twitter 12 days a week!!
For months as it pertains to him he said collusion is not a crime. Now he accuses social media of the same. Its his latest iteration of 'I'm rubber, you're glue.'
Accuse your adversary of that which you are doing. Oldest trick in the book. Trump is president because of fake news smearing his opponents throughout 2016 on Facebook and twitter. This is a widely accepted fact.
Imagine if Twitter just stopped. Closed the doors and folded. Gone. No more tweets. What would Trump do?
Oh but he only wants one news outlet. What a hypocrite
You could include in your headline that what the President is saying here is completely self-serving and utterly false.
Remember when a certain group liked to throw around the word snowflake?
Imagine that!
Your mouth on Twitter
ITS TRUE and youre a part of it too
Welcome to politics stupid !
Did you ever criticize Obama for giving away 150 billion?
He can't be responsible for anything he does. Lie, blame,lie,blame....
t-RUMP is an ENEMY OF HIMSELF! Every time he tweets, its another example of his state of mind and his mental illness. We've have assessed your diagnosis. It seems to be an infectious-right MAGA?
So what did Cohen say about Dt
realDonaldTrump's line of defense: everybody is 'colluding', and thus he's no more guilty of collusion than anybody. Never mind the meaning of *collusion*.
The way he goes on & on about collusion with Russia, assume there wasn't collusion, would that make him any better a leader? would it reverse all his questionable or poor decisions made the unprecedented lack I'm decorum or decency befitting a leader, what would it truly change?
The lying bigot just can't stand criticism...25th AMMENDMENT OR IMPEACH/INDICT trump AND HIS ENTIRE CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION!!
Pres. Trump is correct!
When truth is posted hypocrite s start crying.
he should spend less time reading social media and spend more time doing the job he was elected to do. silly me-that would be too logical.
The companies have admitted it. Why is this a news story?
BLIMEY! WE NEVER NOTICED THAT!
Twitter and Facebook will be handled by the govt they deserve a agency to watch over there dirty rules
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🇺🇸🌩🏦🗽💰📥🏤🏩🏪🏫🏬🏤📲📵
Maybe they should be censored for inflammatory remarks
Fascism
The man in power has hatred for the dead
By conservatives the Twit King means right-wing fringe groups like White Nationalists who already have Fox Nazi Newz as a mega-horn.
For the love of Pete. How does that concoction of anger and delusion not spontaneously combust?
This man is bat sh.. crazy!
Well they are the ones spreading lies, false flags etc
Does it hurt when people talk naughty and make fun of you? Poor orange snowflake
No, it's just that
Please expand on “a certain group of people”.
You know ... when “everybody” hates you, maybe it’s you.
He should be impeached for censoring education, healthcare and the environment
Maybe conservatives should stop posting hate speech and death threats to people who are not white ...
Talk about a LOSER! - Trump.
He’s still upset about the latest SNL episode lol
He wants free speech unless it’s against him, and if it’s against him, he wants to stop it or prosecute. Cant have it both ways, moron.
They r the richest folks he gave tax break to is he regretting? Oh dems r watching..
I was blocked several times today for writing some really credible blogs as a pro writer that were of course no way offensive in any way thinkable. The blogs did admitttedly indicate my thoughts to the right of center whch is no reason to go ahead and refuse to publish them.
Because they do.
It's TRUE.
I've seen no censorship on either Google or Twitter. MAGAtwits abound on both platforms.
Is it wrong to hate the American Republican Nazi Party?
trump is getting ready for an epic showdown. we should all be very scared about what this madman is building up to. he has already given us a glimpse by talking about his 'armed' supporters.
So it’s like, I didn’t collude, you colluded. How pathetic.
They probably sensor your racist tendencies. And probably that relationship request you sent Ivanka.
Poor poor pitable baby Trump. Everyone is against me. Whine...whine...whine....
For good reason! You’d think y’all would’ve learned SOMETHING from 2016. 🤦🏼♀️🙄
Censoring foreign bots designed to influence American citizens is national security not Censorship of American citizens And hate speech or incitement to violence is not protected speech realDonaldTrump. Game playing Ploy to incite the right and stir the base
You forgot “baselessly” or “without any evidence whatsoever”
What is the value of a mad man’s words? If you say he is a sociopath path or a psychopath then his words are like a breath in britches. If you respond react to the mad man’s words then you don’t think he’s a mad man🤣
Ahhhhhh poor baby realDonaldTrump have I been too mean to you. Well the straighten up and be the man you need to be and not this under handed bullying crap. You are running scared and I will be there to smack your face. Truth hurts. You are fake.
If it’s so bad, don’t use it.
How does trump define “conservative”?
So it appears all that left in the world is fake media and he should start his own (far right) media outlet!!! 😀
WTF would tRump do without Twitter?
Why hasn't the Orange haired toupee criminal been arrested yet? realDonaldTrump
JECA PRESIDENT IN FAMILY CORRUPT!
Trump and his bunch are once again lying out the wazoo. If there is collusion they are the ones colluding and if there is hatred it is most certainly coming from trump and his entire party and administration. You can’t punish a company for speaking the truth in theUSA.
It's called a SlowMovingCoup ⚠️
Would not be surprised if Trump declares Fox News state television and declares the other news networks illegal, and not surprised if the Supreme Court rubber stamps it.
I guess he can stop advertising on Facebook and boycotts Twitter.
Yawn.... this realty developer is getting boring now.
True dat!
Not that he brought any of it on himself, hmmmmmm
Dam right. Liberal Poons.
All he said was that they are FACTUALLY being SUED for that exact reason! What kind of headline is this?!
critical yet his campaign is spending the most with Facebook/Google 🤔
Intrumpwetrust
Not in power for long, ******.
No we just hate you oh orange one
It does not surprise us but just nauseates to see hateful, bigoted and extremist people get together. Peace and democracy are not well served by such 'meetings' but there you are. Of course, if you stand for fair play, justice and reason, you get labeled 'socialist'.
Not too much longer in power.
realDonaldTrump Not supporting hate speech, hate mongering or the promotion of violence toward other people is not censorship, it's called being responsible. GTFU Donald!
again if he doesn’t get what he wants or the praise he wants he bashes it😡
The corrupt WP facing a $250,000,000 lawsuit for smearing young Catholics!
They don’t seem 2 censor POTUS! WTF
BolsonaroOrgulhaOBrasil Bolsonaro2022
How is that different than his wanting to censor SNL?
If that is so, he was totally correct.
TRUMP IS RIGHT ON....BUT YOU WON'T HEAR THAT ON THE FAKE NEWS!
Trump on Tuesday sharply criticized Facebook, Google and Twitter for censoring conservatives, accusing them of 'collusion' and a 'hatred they have for a certain group of people who happen to be in power.' Trumpcon should be in straitjacket
He doesn't even have the courage to face another man in equal footing. That's called COWARDICE. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT, THE SECURITY OF OUR COUNTRY IS BEING MANAGED BY A COWARD. GOD HELP IS ALL.
BolsonaroOrgulhoDoBrasil
Poor little baby Trump is getting picked on. 🎻🎻🎻🎻
The Russian press talks well about him
Today would be a good day for Trump to resign.
I see his tweets just fine
Sure, shutdown Twitter? Lmao
Another accusation!
The POTUS simply stated the truth.
Thank God we are Americans and not Russians and are able to say what's in our hearts and minds. Animals like Trump manipulate the system to their advantage. He LIES with impunity knowing if not under oath he can't be punished for those LIES.
He’s desperately trying to control the media so as only his type of rhetoric can be heard,, Despots and tyrants are born that way and he’s well and truly on his way !!
Everyday a wake and find another statement made by Trump on Twitter. I respond the best way I know how, but I have no illusions Trump reads any of them. It relieves the frustration built up over the day by the comments made by that lunatic
Odd considering his campaign has spent the most money advertising on ALL those platforms
Recuuuua
Evidence? Other than the 'voices ' I mean...
It never cease to amaze me how realDonaldTrump and the GOP often accuse people, specifically DEMS, of hating him. They totally overlook the hate spewed by trump and members of the GOP that DEMS would never be caught doing or saying.
😥
I thought Trump said collusion is not a crime. Make up your mind? 🤦🏽♀️😂
What a Trash publication ...
Translation: FB, Twitter and Google have been working with and running interference for tRUmp and the criminal Republikkklans.
The Twitter Troll-in-Chief is not “conservative” by any reasonable definition of that term, nor are the malicious trolls being banned from these platforms. They’re banning hatemongers, not conservatives. Time to learn the difference, folks
Brazil Loves Jair Bolsonaro. BolsonaroOrgulhaOBrasil
worthless story. yes, he did say this. but it's not based in reality. ignore.
Highty
And then booked campaign ads... on Facebook 🙄
BolsonaroOrgulhaOBrasil BolsoTrump
We are proud of our president here in Brazil!!! 🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎🇧🇷😎
Every word true
For somebody who can’t get enough tweets in his day, he sure abuses his Twitter account. So why is he bitching. Oh that’s right, first amendment. My fellow progressive Americans like their free speech very much. His “so-called” conservatives are banned racist 🤬.
Trump asks that more Free Speech be allowed by Nazis, Q-Anon, Neo-Nazis, Neo-Cons, and ALT-Right freakazoids. And why not? Trump can call for people to beat people up and for Bikers to be prepared for Civil War. He will pay legal fees for supporters who attack protestors.
Fact check this- ding ding ding- Johnny what have you got- THIS IS 100% ACCURATE
They do it to me. I know he is speaking truth.
realDonaldTrump they don’t seem to be censoring you
he’s right
It must be impeachment for the American people.
Trump digital director says Facebook helped win the White House
Insert names of Google, etc., with fox.
It's a dog that makes the American people fall into pain.
Every time that 👶 vomits his diet of 🦊 fake news and 😥about his loss of limelight, I 🤔, eat 💩and 💀.
Certain group of people in power: morally bereft intellectually challenged criminals.
The ones in power are the most DODGY characters. Yeh?
Facebook and Twitter are bias against conservatives and are for illegals,criminals and taking down our government.
Oh give me a break. Echoing what other idiots are saying.
Lol we need to sensor trump
President who?
If that were true, dt would be blocked.
What utter rubbish. There’s so much conservative-based news in the news cycle.
He's exactly right. It is patently obvious. Just like the bias and hatred shown by your publication.
Funny, from the most prolific nonsense Tweeter of all time.
Poor baby
What about HIS obvious hatred for everyone who doesn’t agree with him?...or is a different color...sexual identity/orientation...is Muslim...or is an immigrant?
He used 'collision.' Funny!
'I know you are, but what am I'? That's about all that orange blovieated criminal moron is capable of.
Bad medication
He’s an idiot. He’s just pissed there is more of the resistance than there is fans of his. And notice fox hasn’t posted in a while, his propaganda network can’t handle the back lash of us!
Johnd27D - How can I sign up?
Eventually things end. They'll be other new things on the horizon, nothing lasts forever. Eventually people will flock to another social media outlet in the future
Maybe FB should block all political adverts
The White Supremacy- Trump
And he is correct.
🤣🤣🤣
He means criminals
Jesus are we in the twilight zone.
Twitter could delete Trumps account whenever they want. It’s their company so they can theoretically do whatever the fuck they want - which should scare you.
Not so. The 'certain group' is you, Mad Hater, and your Uber-MAGAits. Judgment Day is coming.
I can't fathom the stupidity of this man
Trump 2020 campaign has spent $4.5m on advertising at these two entities so far. This is a smoke screen if I’ve ever seen one.
Too bad they dont all censor him! realDonaldTrump censored everywhere would be a beautifulthing!
PARANOID much? What's he Worried about?
This is not how someone who is censored spends their weekend on Twitter.
Of course, he did. facebook, twitter, and google ushered a white supremacist fascist into the WH. Did they think he’d support them back? Were they so stupid that they trusted a known conman? That whole tech genius bullshit narrative is done now, right?
'Collusion is not a crime' DJT
This fool is on Twitter so much he probably getting paid!!!

you bet. now, the courts will defend those harmed by the social media/mainstream media who've misused their power and incited violence & defamation.
Funny seems we get all his tweets. If they were censoring he should be at the top of the list.
Have you ever heard the phrase, what's good for the goose is good for the gander- well HELLO GOOSE!
'Everyone' supposedly is biased against conservatives...
It's not necessarily a whole group. It's just you.
It's a proven fact, the evidence is available across the internet. Jack admitted in a recent interview the bias was there... So the real question WP is how stupid are you.... Out of 10, 1 being slight dumb and 10 being CNN dumb?!
This country still has a thing called 'free speech ' which gives me the right to call you out every time you tweet your base your lies and it is only going to get worse for you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Democrats are the only ones who censor ...
realDonaldTrump forgets how they helped him in the election - especially Facebook.
Only get censored for hate and conspiracy theories
Well he is right. Didn’t Facebook just apologized for blocking a conservative?
Twitter needs to censor trump.
No No No realdonaldtrump it's called 51% of the population just block anything you say because nothing you say is the truth. So if you are feeling left out, you should get some counseling help. That would be the first thing positive in your entire life. I bet money you won't.
we are battling Nazis and white supremastics...you can be conservative, but you don't have to hate or wanting to kill people for no reason
and just who make up 'a certain group of people who happen to be in power'? Clarity please...
Absolutely true. The DOJ should start arresting tech moguls.
Someone take away his unsecured phone. He is a laughing stock of the World.
Poor Donnie!
Sorry, I don't see it, especially from realDonaldTrump
DonaldTrumpPathalogicalLIAR DonaldTrumpIsMentallyILL DonaldTrumpMAGATSForBrains
Paranoia will destroy ya (unless Mueller gets there first.)
Holy Crap!Trump always playin tge victim-HE makes me sick
He is a stupid divisive human being. and YES he is stirring the pot, world wide. and his brief READING of a sympathy message re N.Z was pathetic. Don't come to Australia we don't want you.
This week in social media. “Social media fails to properly monitor violent acts and hate. We must have a congressional hearing”. Also this week “Social media censors us to much, we must have a hearing!”
It looks like the malignant narcissistic projection has become the favourite tool of manipulation....
Wow, a WO headline with the truth about the fascist censors !
Good thing the president doesn't have anything better to do.
He seems to forget he is not a king or a dictator, thank God
Yet Trump has spent double all other candidates combined on Facebook and Google ads.
Not censoring, we are BLOCKING YOU and your hate rhetoric!
His opinion though
the projecting president is at it again
1st amendment this is America Trump's taking note against social media .....⬇️ Putin signs new laws punishing spread of 'fake news'
He didn’t seem to mind when Russian trolls used those platforms to swing the election in his favor.
They did censor Alex Jones who was the leading authority on the plague that is gay frogs
BolsonaroOrgulhaOBrasil
This guy is still tweeting? Yaawwwwwn. 😴😴
hatred for policing hate speech. makes sense in comrade Pinocchio's mind I'm sure.
If FB didn’t exist you wouldn’t president.
The Hob Goblins Are Dancing On Our President's Brain..🍊🍕💩
do you have evidence of this trump?
Manufactured drama. All of these entities are filthy with russian $$$, just like tRUmp. See also, George Conway.
I wish they were censoring them so we didn’t have to hear their constant lying.
He’s right. A friend was suspended on twitter over this:
Liar! When will he be held accountable for these lies and deceitful behavior. Ridiculous...Congress needs to speak up.
I'm getting sick of seeing that idiot.
Uh oh conservatives feel persecuted again; somebody call the Waaambulance...
Trumpmis an insult to conservatives. William Buckley is rolling over in his grave hearing this con man associating himself with being a conservative.
Not sure why Trump would spend so much on FB advertising if he hates them this much 🤔
He's right.
He’s a crazy man! He’s falling deeper and deeper into the conspiracy hole.
Doing their jobs as opposed to 45 lying to the American public telling them the free press is the enemy of the people. 😡
Based on my timeline conservatives are well represented.
He is right!!!!!!!
'Censoring' conservatives... how many moronic, rage-hate spewing tweets has he randomly flung out just in the past 2 or 3 days? He is SO censored and oppressed lol.
No Brasil a censura a paginas de conservadores é DESCARADA
His rhetoric is belied by his ad spend on Facebook and Google, which appears to exceed $5.5 million since November 2018 and is more than all Democrat candidates combined. Source:
Hell, do us all a favor and stay off Social Media! SAD DESPERATE OLD ORANGE MAN.
Can not believe after these years 45 is Still referred to as.......President? 😖😖😖😖😖😖
realDonaldTrump but you make hating you so easy
Who? Assholes?
Trump has no clue what his doing other than wanting to be a dictator and not being able to achieve it. He thinks his base is being shut out. But reality is, that more ppl. Just don’t like him and then other have doesn’t watch to watch. There president idiot go down hard.
'Fake News' is a polite way to refer to the old Soviet style disinformation campaigns. It's planned, deliberate and focused. It's frightening and shameful that this is taking place on American soil.
Nobody likes Chump or the GOP 🤡🤮😂
Ok Grandpa
And STRIKINGLY amazing, is that he is AB-so-LUTELY RIGHT!
PC don realDonaldTrump , plz donny
The media is destroying so much of what we think of as a peaceful culture, because the media isn't news anymore. The media has become the largest activist group for alt-left in the country.
The truth is that tweeter is very very very very anti conservatives. You can say you want to kill babies and love abortion... no problem. You say that the guy that killed Christians 2 days ago in Holland was Muslim and someone will accuse you of Islamophobia. Mohammed was a pedo
Trump has started conditioning other world leaders to sound like him and Putin calling the media fake news. Brainwashing people who will listen to the lies is what makes this worrisome. If you hear it enough the weak will bite.
The people in power are the citizens. Parties are not power.
. . . I'm beginning to think he doesn't actually know what 'Collusion' means.
Talk about your WITCH HUNTS! There is NO COLLUSION. (To quote someone familiar with such things)
Funny, all I ever see on Facebook is Pro-Trump BS. I’m ready abandon the site.
The man is a plague on democracy
I will be so glad when I never have to hear his projections of other people, when he is in fact, speaking of himself.
