WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to regulate or shut down social media companies for stifling conservative voices, a day after Twitter attached a warning to some of his tweets prompting readers to fact check the president’s claims.
Trump’s threat to shut down platforms like Twitter Inc and Facebook was his strongest yet within a broader conservative backlash against Big Tech.Twitter for the first time added fact-check labels on Trump tweets after he made unsubstantiated claims on Tuesday about mail-in voting. It attached a blue exclamation mark alert to his tweets to warn his claims were false and had been debunked by factcheckers.
“We believe that people should be able to have a robust debate about the electoral process, which is why we have crafted our policies to focus on misrepresentations that would interfere with the vote,” a Facebook spokesman told Reuters. Twitter said the application of a fact-checking label to the president’s tweets was an extension of its new “misleading information” policy, introduced earlier this month to combat misinformation about the coronavirus.
….happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!
🤔
Try Parler. Instead of Twitter
Both are a cesspool and echo chamber of hate, bigotry and vitriol. Basically nothing but B-rated entertainment
Aren't you a cdn news outlet?
Trump is right!!!
Twitter made a faux pas & exposed themselves as a publisher rather than a forum. Different laws needed to regulate them now.
Is it wrong to suggest someone who lies is telling untruths?
Why this jerk doesn’t get Covid_19 amd let another jerk govern usa 🇺🇸
Free of fact checking speech must be respected
trumpery...noun, 1: worthless nonsense 2: trivial or useless
Twitter's fact checker in chief has had a microscope rammed up his O-ring. Seems conservatives are no longer bending over and turning the other cheek. Wondering when there will be a Twitter shareholder class action against company officers for dereliction of fiduciary duty.
There is mail in fraud. It’s well documented....
OMG he is so much more orange in this picture
Twitter’s fact-checker is fact checked.
Unabated discussion?! Oh, the horror!
