Like China the President is trying to silence criticism by social media .

DEBIO HACERSE HACE 15 AÑOS ATRAS

Bravo Mr Trump

weird new chapter in the culture-identity wars...

Pshhh fine then, the Yech giants can just move to another country it’s not like they need to be in America, the EU is easily as accessible

But he’s threatening his own platform 🤪🤪🤪

If he wasn't so stupid, I could almost believe he and Twitter thought this up together. Fighting Twitter ON Twitter is brilliant.

No different than forcing someone to bake a cake that doesn't follow their religious beliefs. If bakers have to do that then twitter needs to quit being biased too.

What’s controversial about it? Is making them to operate in the same level as you have done since forever. You should cheer him up!!

Twitter made a decision knowing some bull**** was gonna follow. Kudos for having the balls. At the very least, you made some of us smile if just for an evening.

he better watch what he says then.

And this is how fascism is ushered in.

Hitler's footsteps...we will get there, sooner than later!

Right wing deserves all this strict rules coming and it will be more and more. Heil Hitler

Couldn't wait to roll over.

Autocracy

Trump is such a baby!!!!.

proxy

Congrats USA, your well on the way to becoming a new dictatorship.

Reminds me of Thatcher's response after the broadcast of Death on the Rock

We need a new amendment: each time the President violates the Constitution, he or she shall be immediately imprisoned for life without parole.

Really why folks think he’s stupid or worse bruce_haigh MColvinMcKenzie LesStonehouse

Tweeter is the private social media. So, they need to delete his account over this.

On the plus side a temper tantrum by trump might accidentally massively help those who suffer revenge porn and the like. Rilling back section 230 would remove all that “were just a platform” nonsense that sites use to refuse to take stuff down

Crazy Guy

STOPPING censorship is fascism now. What a time to be alive.

For someone who wants to be reelected, that's not the smartest move.

25thAmendmentNow

Stupid Trump 😡

Dangerous times ahead.

Minnesota is in chaos, cops are murdering people, we are in a fucking pandemic and this dude is worried about social media Hellooooo...anybody home?! Get some perspective and a sense of priority

Aww poor trump doesn't like his lies flagged up. We'll there goes your freedom of speech.

Just to confirm Trump has systematically lied on too many occasions, it's a surprise all his tweets done come with a warning label. Those struggling to see this, might I suggest a day trip to Barnard Castle in Durham...

Thankyou Mr president realDonaldTrump 👏👏” Trump2020

why i am not surprised! maybe freedom of speech came from Chinaaa and Trump need to eliminate it.

Bitter man indeed.

Interesting to see the legal position on this...

mmm another step down the path of fascism

The president, who has uttered thousands of false or misleading statements since taking office, complained as he signed the missive that social media firms have 'unchecked power,' adding: 'Imagine if your phone company edited or silenced your conversations.'

State Censorship.

Twitter suspend realDonaldTrump account and watch him cry like the little orange hair boy he is SuspendTrumpsTwitter

He really is a petty little tyrant when he gets challenged, he can't abide criticism about himself, nor being fact checked or questioned.

WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TWITTER-MILLIONS WILL SIGN ON TO IT FOR BEING BANNED FOR FREE SPEECH! I WARNED THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN THIS WOULD HAPPEN BUT TWITTER LAUGHED AT ME!

The man is unwell.... Mental

It takes a super majority of votes from congress to amend the First Amendment

He used the platform for propaganda to 'educate' his base and elevate himself. Now he wants to make sure no one else will do the same thing?

Biting the hand that fed him

Baby needs his nappy changed

It takes a super majority of votes from congress to amend the First Amendment

Can't twitter just delete his account, they're under no obligation to give him a platform, surely? 🧐

Hopefully it can get rid off the fake trump supporter on twitter.

Nazis...

US is now officially 3rd world country.

Since 1999 the state of California supported by the Obama Administration and Joe Biden spearheaded by Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff has been using the most horrific Acts against human beings as a proxy stay at home program stealing California through the broken voting system!

Why are people shocked at this? This is classic right wing suppression- has the man learned nothing from history

Joe while your cronies were working overtime to impeach President Trump protecting you from America they didn't help protect America from anything. In December January February and March the Democratic party was busy protecting you

Chairman Trump strikes again!

The State of CALIFORNIA been endorsing the stay-at-home safely program since 1999 We the PEOPLE decide what happens next! NOT MEDIA NOT FALSE TESTIMONIES NOT CORRUPT JUDGES NOT SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS NOT CORRUPT POLITICIAN'S NOT FALSE VOTING POLLS NOT CORRUPT NO ID REQUIRE

they should kick him off their platforms. righttorefuseservice

I'm not sure these platforms and all their power and influence fully understand who and what they're tangling with in the guise of a US President - now would be a time to be careful....JW.

Lol he's been singing executive orders ever since he became president and half of it doesnt even workout

A thug of true note! Scared of criticism and insects.

A long time coming.

Trump is talking too much.

He must spend his whole time being angry. Sucks to be you Donald
