US President Donald Trump has threatened social media companies with new regulation or even shuttering after Twitter moved a day earlier to add fact checks to two of his tweets.

And he repeated his unsubstantiated claim — which sparked his latest showdown with Silicon Valley — that expanding mail-in voting "would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots." Trump and his campaign angrily lashed out on Tuesday after Twitter added a warning phrase to two Trump tweets that called mail-in ballots "fraudulent" and predicted that "mail boxes will be robbed," among other things.

They all need each other. Smoke and mirrors. Keep the people distracted from the important things.

POTUS has lost credibility. He can only talk, can't take any action. People no longer take him seriously. Iran, DPR and all mock the US

All the politicians globally at this present time are governed by the incoming New World Order

Good. They’ve been acting like publishers rather than platforms for a long time. About time they were treated as such. Make them legally accountable for everything posted on their site.
