Twitter is Donald Trump's favoured means of communicating to the public. But the US President's relationship with the social media company has now soured, amid accusations of censorship.

that spliced together different moments of his address to make it seem like Nancy Pelosi had acted disrespectfully during key moments.

Twitter justified its decision by saying its new guidelines that may have led to the removal of the video weren't in place yet and therefore it could not retroactively review Mr Trump's content.Twitter has been subject to more recent appeals to remove the President's content after Mr Trump accused TV host Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern, Lori Klausutis, when he was a Republican congressman in 2001.Foul play was eliminated as a cause of Ms Klausutis's death.

In the speech, Headley said his department had been successful "because I've let the word filter down that when the looting starts, the shooting starts".Twitter added a warning label to Mr Trump's tweet,Donald Trump's tweet was hidden by Twitter, with the social network saying it violated its rules about glorifying violence.

The order directs executive branch agencies to ask independent rule-making agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, to study whether they can place new regulations on the companies — though experts express doubts much can be done without an act of Congress.the President tweeted: "REVOKE 230!"

Twitter universe is left centred much like you

Not a trump fan, but twitter and facebook are left leaning supporting the bourgeois left and their corrupt allies... most other world media are not imparcial and push their own biased editorials

Rightfully so!

My 2 year old used to do the same tanties we used to call them.

Twitter didn't censor Trump, they did far, far worse, they questioned him. He hates it when people call him a liar. Trump can't handle the truth!

🤡

Generally speaking ....If you provide oxygen with words to a strory that infuriates you, the strory will grow. If you ignore it, it will die. Before deciding, put it into context. Then kill it if necessary.

You surely can’t be this bad at journalism

“Accusing”? They took down his tweet, that IS censorship.. what’s wrong with you at the ABC.. cult

Har. Media takeover of world power.

So he should...

The abc journalist hate free speech.

Because that’s exactly what twitter is doing, and everyone knows it. Duh!

This triggered the trolls!

Taxpayers are set back for $1 billion a year for this crap you write?

Good, maybe he'll stop staying up all night thinking of silly things to say. Next Instagram will be his preferred method of spouting nonsense while accusing Twitter of being a hoax caused by the democrats, China, the WHO or whoever. Cut him off!

Let’s hope he finds Snapchat instead 😂😂

Let him shut this down. Then he couldn’t spread his poison.

Correct.

God bless realDonaldTrump God bless America 🇺🇸 Fight for Freedom

Who looks like the evil one?

Why accusing? Thought it was a dead cert.

Trump has always been TheirABC's preferred punching bag. Now they are accusing the President of telling the truth.

Is there a journalist in the house or just paid shills

How about some balance here? Because they did 🙄🙃

So Twitter decides to add a 'fact checker' to Trumps tweets. Those fact checkers Twitter employs are CNN and Washington Post..........Yes Twitter are censoring....

He needs some way to circumvent the constant lies you and others publish about him.

Roll on November.

Because they did

He'd be correct.

Basically because , like in Australia the Press are Liars, agenda driven parasites !

...he's been talking about it since before he was elected wicked misleading headline you have there. Click bait doesn't belong on the ABC.

Well, he's the only one standing against them.

Trump has always known Twitter to have a left wing bias, but it’s never been so overt as to have CNN so publicly fact check his tweets. As a result he was prepared for this day, with the DOJ & DOTC ready to complete ongoing investigations.

HAHAHA.. HAHAHA.. 🤣🤣🤣 POTUS

Hypocrite par excellence realDonaldTrump

I could go on and on but....

How about this

Well , was this censored

Accusing? Its happening

Truth hurts dosnt it?

He had to get around the bias of the left wing press some how.

😂😂😂😂. Dumb as Trump.

Double standards

He always has because its always been true. They have been deliberatly editorialising then claiming immunity as a public forum. Glad to see Trump putting a stop to the hypocricy.

He’s accusing Twitter of censorship while he’s trying to center Twitter for fact checking him so we get the truth. I don’t think he knows what the word means. Maybe he should employ someone to act as a dictionary for him because he’s a very special kind of stupid.

Do you think Twitter wants to be with the Democratic Party in the next election?

Well because twitter just like the rest of the social media goons do censor especially in recent times.....often whenever the truth gets too hot to handle!

Biting the hand that feeds him....

That’s because it is censoring.

They systematically shadowban, ban users for partisan political reasons, and inconsistently apply the rules in favour of their preferred political messages. Censorship is the least of their sins.

They should have deleted his account a long time ago. He uses that account because if he uses the official White House accounts he can be investigated by government and held to account.

Well it has been going on for year. But they cant hide it now. They censored the President of the United states. And the white house twitter feed. You cant get any clearer than that.

Fear has gripped Trump. The kind of fear that at his age makes him involuntarily shit his pants and then howl how the whole world is after him. It will get worse. To a point when his own scum will have to drop their heads in sadness.

So just state facts. And also for politicians, apply the rule to every one. Get a social media advisor.

It’s a good way of communicating directly to the people without dishonest media.

Um, they do censor.

And he's always been one of the top 100 trolls of all time
