President vows to ‘strongly regulate’ or shutter platforms that ‘silence conservative voices’ a day after Twitter added warning label on falsehoods

Donald Trump has threatened to “strongly regulate” or close down social media platforms that do not meet his standards for ideological balance, a day after Twitter, for the first time, slapped a warning label on a pair of Trump tweets spreading lies about mail-in voting.

Trump threatens his own ass after it doesn’t stop making noise yaddayadda

haha so you go fact check his opinion with anti trump opinion what a laugh. That you say false claims when with a few clicks of a button you can get even Gerry Nadler saying that mail ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud. Well Done for spreading fake news

good it's about time to regulate them

He's been learning from China has he

How Chinese of him. He must have The Wuhan.

Go donald 💚

We need you tweeter

Yea not false— maybe people should really fact check themselves

Try banning him from twitter. He will cry.

Isn't that what dictators do?

Twitter employees aren't even following their own Terms of Service and promoting false Nazi claims about the Whitehouse. Twitter Employees are trying to incite anger, hate and civil unrest, and profiteering from public funded communication infrastructure.

Hilarious. Doesn’t like being called a liar 😂.

Trump is a fascist..

All he has to do not to be fact-checked is STOP LYING

Trump is mentally unstable!

The headline should be: Crazy old man shakes fist at screen.

hell with that gambit.. it;s the first amendment,stupid.

Sons of Jacob en route, watch this space. Abhorrent, heinous. UnderHidEye

Snowflake

About time.

Politics controlled social media long time ,they started in Arab world to destroy us by sealing weapons to ISIS and the national Armies.oil is the key ..really Trump is fighting a few people who control the world

It’s got nothing to do with free speech, everything to do with whether social media platforms stop him from saying whatever lies he wants to say.

Oh I see you have decided they are false claims

Shiver me fucking whatevs timbers.

Dictator in chief

Has the Guardian cerifirmex any elections in the US? Because there is voter fraud in almost every election. The Democrats were unable to count votes in Two Caucuses.

Except his claims are not false.

Truth - what is truth and who cares? This is the (temporary) age of Trump, Johnston, Morrison and other snake oil salesmen

This isn't Trump..it's Boris. No, it is Trump, no it's Boris..fake President..fake PM.

This is Fake News. All Guardian stories are. The claims were not false. Do your own research and stop reading this paper. mediascum

Honestly I can't sit for over 2hr to watch a movie but I can do so to follow US politics. It has all the qualities of a blockbuster movie: Democratic intrigues, Republican plot twists, Trump being the ultimate villain.. 😂

He wouldn't shut down what got him elected. How will Russia pay for fake Facebook news stories and misinformation?

He always threatens everyone who is standing in his ‘terrible’ way of doing things.

This guy is a dictator pure and simple. Loves Putin/Kim, should we be surprised. He clearly hasn't read the memo regarding the 'rules' of his country and his restricted authority! What a pleb!

Republican POTUS uses social media to say social media silence the republicans. Maybe they're following his lead -if we don't do republican, there won't be any republican. Or whatever that word salad was.

No problem is a private company cannot touch it....

Shoot the messenger, Trump learning from his heroes Kim Jong-Un & Putin. FakePresident

So much for the largest democracy in the world.

They weren’t false. Do your homework

Lol!! But they’re not false claims, you’re just FAKE NEWS!!🤣

Hilarious! USA Wake up!

Live look at all the Twitter big shots: (Trump loves Twitter too much to shut it down if he could and we all know it. He just wants to use it as his propaganda machine without interference.)

I read a few replies here and it’s clear that Trump is still living rent-free in a lot of leftist heads.

How about democrat opossition to mail in vote , due to it being vulnerablr to fraud. Big it up for Rep. Jerrold Nadler What has changed I wonder ?

As for Twitter, they have an appalling record of calling out fake news, unattributed advertising, conspiracy theories and lies, all of which undermines free speech and democracy. On the positive side, Twitter makes loads of money!

Many years ago at the Great Wall of China, I woke up to loudspeakers vomiting propaganda news and thought how lucky to be an American. Don't jeopardize our precious free speech liberties!!!

Close down twitter? hahaha.. he would go into meltdown without it. I've been there... very sad place..

If Twitter is going to put a warning on Trump for his allegedly false claims, most of the journos should be permanently banned because yours are almost always false and distorted.

TOO BAD SO SAD YOU CANT POTUS!

NotMyPresident

This is a preliminary part of the blonde liar's strategy to discredit the election if he loses. He can count on his lackeys on the Supreme Court to uphold his position.

Bout time Twitter took some responsibility.

Guardian is Fake News

Its not false, Its because u currpt media hate him

Simple solution, 'conservative voices' should quit lying.

Have finally seen the 'warning label' that Twitter 'slapped' on the comments posted by President Trump. 'Get the facts about mail-in ballots'. A helpful hyperlink. Hardly controversial. Just make it happen for tweets by all holders of political office, jack. Not just the liars

I bet twitter doing that left him oranged faced

Serious question, why is his face orange?

45 is a racist fearmonger and shameless punk, his evil resonates at the heart, mind, and soul of not only him but his spineless supporters.

Conservative platforms aren’t being silenced. Most decent humans just aren’t down with the divisiveness that their hateful, racist, classist messaging often entails. In fact, we push against it and call out the worst of the worst. It’s just cause and effect.

live by the sword...

Ghenghen!

He’s out of control. But is it any wonder? Here are the side effects of the drug he’s taking 👇 drphilhammond

If he doesn't like it then perhaps delete his account?

Well, Twitter has a poster woman now by the name of Li F/F... go and figure out who she work for!! American is being tossed! Sorry to say.

БОГ сотворил вас, и тех кто жил до нас. Все создано БОГОМ, и принадлежит ЕМУ. ОН все решает так, как пожелает. Нет ничего, которое ОН не сможет сотворить. ЕГО богатства и возможности не ограничены. Устремления, совершавших праведные деяния будучи Верующим, не будут отвергнуты.

Loathsome though he is, a social media platform should not be judging what is false and what isn't. Is it going to put warnings on Johnson's frequent drivel? or Netanyahu's? Will Twitter be putting the claims of various elected heads through its honestometer? Its nonsense.

Perhaps the media should act responsibly and do their jobs of informing the public, instead of amplifying his lies.

I wonder how many threats per km he does!

Some people seem to think that amendments to the US constitution started with the 2nd.

لماذا ؟! نحن نستمتع بتغريدة السيد ترامب

But he loves tweeting

He thinks the whole world should bow to him.

Just yet more hot air ~ ignore it.

And our lifafa media?

Our digital communication depending on the American president.. Scary to having this power in a liberal n open market world

..put him on the next ~SpaceX flight ~Off Planet!!! 🙌⛩️🕉️☯️⚛️⛩️🙌.

'his false claims'

This is a good first step forward however legs not pretend Twitter is good. They still have some outrageous stiff on there and their policy of banning some people and not others is very inconsistent. Right and powerful can do what they want. Twitter embodies this elitism.

And then five minutes later his nanny tells him that he can’t actually do anything about it.

To be fair, Twitter is a private platform and they can do what they want with your Tweets. If he wants to have free reign over what he says, he should use the public Internet. But then, he would have to work hard to get people to see his insane rants. Not his thing, hard work.

I wish he would because I would be able to go on my phone and not see him anymore ... go for it trump

Distraction d’jour. TrumpDeathToll100K

Just gets him more attention. I think we should have a national holiday NoTrumpsDay

LIES. They aren't false claims they are LIES. I am aghast at how frequently the lesser keystroke LIE is passed over for lengthy phrases amongst the media/publishing folks when referring to Trump LIES.

Complains about shutting down free speech then solves it by shutting down free speech?

Trump was clearly exposed for lying and spreading falsehoods. He just hate he was exposed.

He can’t. 🖕🏼

Good for Twitter. Trump seems to have missed the fact that his nonsense still appears, just with a health warning.

Ha ha what a big baby doesn’t like it when Twitter question his fake news what goes around comes around foolish man

He makes conservative people feel ashamed. Trashy man makes the good people look bad
