Amid feud with Twitter, Trump to sign executive order on social media Thursday, White House says

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies on Thursday, White House officials said after Trump threatened to shut down websites he accused of stifling conservative voices.

Twitter has now shown that everything we have been saying about them is correct. Big action to follow! “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,” Trump said in a pair of additional posts on Twitter on Wednesday.

Republican Trump has an eye on the November election. “Big Tech is doing everything in their very considerable power to CENSOR in advance of the 2020 Election,” Trump tweeted on Wednesday night. “If that happens, we no longer have our freedom.” The Internet Association, which includes Twitter and Facebook among its members, said online platforms do not have a political bias and they offer “more people a chance to be heard than at any point in history.”

In recent years Twitter has tightened its policies amid criticism that its hands-off approach allowed fake accounts and misinformation to thrive.

What do you call “rule by executive order”?

Maybe it’s time for a Twitter and Big Tech to move to a country that actually has freedom instead of a country that talks about freedom. It would be funny. Twitter can operate out of any country in the world.

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE LEFTIST COMPANIES

Excellent coverage of the topic

So up until now, every post written on Facebook and Twitter must be true. I’m no Trump fan but if you are going to fact-check him, you must fact-check everybody.

Oh, he might destroy his main voice card. From what pulpit will he deliver?

Twitter acting like a publisher instead of a platform. They won’t survive the lawsuits if they keep it up.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley, a frequent critic of Big Tech companies, sent a letter to Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey asking why the company should continue to receive legal immunity after “choosing to editorialize on President Trump’s tweets.” Why? Because he's lying.

The latest act in his circus!!!

Lol

In the name of free speech, he is trying to restrict free speech. Can't make this crap up.

I know he hasn't read the US Const but hasn't Ivanka whispered into his ear the whole free speech thingy. Tell him it's the biggest constitution ever, never been done before, a lot of people are saying so.

Trump is now dicktator

If Twitter censors Trump, they will have to ban CanadianPM & CBCNews

This is good news. It is obvious that Twitter ignores the lies and has a complete bias of the left.

Hey realDonaldTrump, you baffoon. I you didn't tweet lies, there would be no need for Twitter to link a fact-check to you tweets. It's really like elementary school math: x + y = z (You + lies = fact checks)

When are the media and the politicians gonna denounce this thuggery?

Baby 👶 doesn’t like when people call him out. Poor baby.

Hahaha sign whatever you want Big Orange. Doesn’t change shit 😆

I heard that trumps a incestuous pedophile that use to slip Ivanka the 'sliplery Don-g' while she gave him a reach around and fingered his ass, I heard he enjoyed it. Don't worry, Donald says it's true because we no longer have to fact check anything.

Another historic moment for America. 😏👇

Doesn’t he have bigger fish to fry right now?! Honestly 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s time for us fellow right wingers to quit Twitter. Let’s delete our accounts together

The man sure doesn't like to be called out. Great! We know where to hit him, keep it going!

He is hilarious

Hate to say this but we should know more about this sort of divine intervention than most. Trudeau & the NDP achieved something far more shocking they SHUT DOWN PARLIAMENT FFS. Yet we are more concerned about the fate of independent tweets in the US. cdnmedia cdnpoli Canada

What on earth will he do with his time, if not tweeting? Oh right he will golf, lie, spread lies and misinformation, ignore the pandemic, just not on Twitter

Seriously? C'mon, he cannot be allowed to do this. It's time to show this guy that there are limits to his so called 'powers' that he only uses to suit himself. What's wrong with Congress, etc. to let him get away with this shit. Bunch of woosies!

OMG and the three-year-old got a booboo and is going to have a tantrum.

Awesome. Captain dumb dumbs got the pen...

Watch him nationalize Twitter.

Twitter fact-checks Trump tweet for the first timeSocial-media platform says U.S. President made false claims about mail-in ballots If there’s one organization I want to place my faith in determining what is and isn’t reality it’s a group of people working for a massive corporation Good luck to them if they try to keep up with his loose interpretation of the facts. Just before the election campaign gets on it's way. Twitter has the reputation of the platform of liars. Has to do something before people start leaving for other platforms. It is no longer profitable to have Trump lying at will.
