The United States' President, Donald Trump, has signed an executive order aimed at removing some of the legal protections enjoyed by social media platforms.

Mr Trump took to his Twitter page to announce threats of regulation and a possible shutdown of social networking platforms.

The Silicon Valley company had on Tuesday added the fact-check label to two tweets in which Mr Trump claimed that mail-in ballots were “fraudulent” and would lead to “a rigged election”. A link appears beneath the tweets which reads “Get the facts about mail-in ballots”, directing users to a page with news contents, tweets and a fact box that suggest the claim is unsubstantiated.

“I think in general private companies probably shouldn’t be – especially these platform companies – shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.”
