The latest dispute comes after Twitter added fact-check links to the president's tweets for the first time.

Before leaving Washington for Florida to watch a space launch that was postponed due to bad weather, Mr Trump again accused Twitter and other social media of bias, without offering evidence.

He had tweeted, without providing evidence:"There is NO WAY that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent." Twitter's chief executive Jack Dorsey responded to criticism of the platform's fact-checking policies in a series of posts, saying:"We'll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally."Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally.

Amazing how every criticism is either lies or fake news yet every thing he says is the gospel truth.

Why is he so pressed

He’s a bully and dictator. Not worthy of being Our President . Self self self 🤥

A lot of people have been kicked of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter for questioning the narrative!

Big orange baby not getting his own way again?

Based on Twitter’s guidelines he should have been kicked off years ago. The narcissistic liar and supreme purveyor of fake news is duly noted, as any other source should be. Boo hoo. His lemmings, of course, will rally around their patron saint.

Glad this is his main focus with worrying about the election... meanwhile over 100,000 Americans have lost their lives to a virus with no end in sight. Unemployment increase daily and layoffs continue. Way to go Mr. President glad your priorities are on social media.

Please someone tell him that, if he does, he wont be able to tweet anymore. No one will be here to listen his questionable fact finding tweets other than newspapers. I’m sure they will love him. 😂😛

It shows that the likes of Facebook and Twitter and Google are a sell on the markets. Already you can see the Bias on conservative posts on these social media sites. Once you start alienating a section of the society Advertisers will not be happy. Brands will suffer.

Is that bullying or is that bullying!!!!!

Dear Trump. We all have bad tweets but with Twitter, we write. It feels good to have a say to feel that you are a writer. It's good and bad.

They should just kick him off their 1st amendment platform.

Toys out of the pram time. He's worried he's going to lose his playhouse. What a shame.

He is either a cry baby, a Dictator in the making or both. realDonaldTrump

Twitter should say ok if you do that we will ban you from the platform.

Imagine having a tantrum so bad you want to stifle the only platform that allows you to spill your verbal diarrhoea... what planet is he on? Anyone with half a brain fact checks the shit coming out his mouth, regardless of platform.

Scary the American people voted this guy in, but then we voted a charleton into no. 1O 🤦‍♂️

Just does to show that he doesn’t like the fact that he is being OFICIALLY fact checked. They should be doing itmore in the U.K. because our government is just as bad

Or he could just stop lying.

He can sign but is it worth anything 🤔

Is Trump going to ban himself?

Good. You wanna act like a publisher you should get treated as one.

I sort of thought the end of social media would come after a long thought-out collective realisation, not after one of Mr Trump’s 4am Twitter tantrums. SM isn’t fit for purpose, as is, but not for the reasons he claims. Maybe it’s all that hydroxychloroquine he’s been snorting?

Trump is a dictator who has mental health problems, his behaviour is getting crazier and crazier!

Tech firms must be shaking in their boots,,,, not!!!.

Wow. I found someone else who isn't a yes-man. We must either sack them or shut them down, can I send in the navy seals? Why am I asking you this, of course I can because you too will be sacked if you say no.

Presumably the social media companies have contingency plans to move abroad. I’m suggest Finland

Basically ''i'm the boss, let me lie....'' We've got 1 of those too, and several at the BBC...

Does this man have any redeeming features? I can't think of a single one.

🤷🏼‍♀️

This like his executive order that let American arms be sold to Saudi Arabia

Oh good! I presume this will stop Chump’s continual childish and often unfounded contributions. No more petulance, no more verbal abuse? I can’t wait for it to happen.

I hope UK getscits immigration lawcsorted before Donald is ousted from the Whitehouse. I have the sinking feeling he will emigrate here to his golf course 😒

The pure lunacy of this orange tit spangle just gets more obvious each week!!! So how will he cope without Twitter? A bit north Korean isn't it?

Land of the free has voted for a Mad King.

It’s okay. People with at least one working brain cell don’t believe anything he says anyway. And the people who do, wouldn’t check the facts anyway. MAGA and Brexit are both cults like Jim Jones.

Throwing his toys out of his pram. Absolutely pathetic 😡

I sincerely hope they fact check the Presidents powers to sign executive orders to do this.

All US media companies should file lawsuits in every state simultaneously against Jumbo Dumbo Donnie Dimowitz if he tries to shut them up. Re-election ploy & tax returns could be released. UK elite also trying to do this with Newsnight re: Derek Crass Arse Cummings

He does love an executive order 😂.

Will it impact the first amendment?

I am embarrassed for you America. Really really embarrassed!

100000 dead and he's worried that his tweets are fact checked (and correctly so) ... how sad for US citizens to have this man as their President

Does he want it to take an unproven treatment? Pay off his porn stars? Trump is a pig.

😂😂😂😂😂 W⚓️

The reaction by Trump is a true reflection of how dictators used to rule in many countries. But only a few are remaining & very soon there will be no more. But for Trump to issue such a threat is quite disgusting.

Dictator

He is a dick and needs to go.

Welcome to Trump’s Orwellian Dream.

Did he hear someone calling him a tosspot and he misheard it as ‘despot’ and then went and bing ‘d it and is acting out now?

I hope they shut down tweeter and Facebook. They take sides dramatically. Mother f er’s keep your distance. You cannot make decisions on what is truth or not. Fuok fact checking. No one knows the real truth about anything, it’s just perception. Idiots!!!

It’s no coincidence. America leads the world in number of deaths & UK is 2nd. Two dysfunctional govts tell you exactly why. r4today covid19

Has there ever been a more thin skinned, pathetic man baby in charge in the White House? Trying to censor truth is not a good look.

He behaves like an entitled, spoiled child.

He's a fecking dictator. This is the shit they do in China. We are no longer the United States of America.

Mainstream media is next on the chopping block for lying, colluding, and maintaining fraudulent seditious narratives on behalf of big pharma, china, the deepstate and treasonist terrorists. 😂Good luck to the executives at the bbc! 🧐i hope there are arrests at your company 🥳

Rational people to file lawsuits immediately after.

yapaporfavor

45albannach Where he goes, PM Cummings will follow using Johnson as his mouthpiece.

He’s gone full dictator now hasn’t he. All the while siting the right to free speech as his reason for shutting it down.

Crazier than kim ping pong... fruitcake looney

Distraction....what about 100k deaths due to CORONA19 failure? What are you doing about that IMPOTUS?

He won't leave after he is defeated 11/3/2020 Joe Biden accepts victory what happens next do you know?

It has no wings at all.

He doesn't have the power to touch private companies, so is EO is pointess.

I know this will probably go above his head but: Free speech isn't free if you control what can be said and who can say it. Trump is a massive tweeter. What would his reaction of been if in 2015 Obama had shut down Twitter?

Trump is not going to shut down Twitter! He will have nowhere to visibly rant night and day.

“Here’s a crayon, stay within the lines”

So to protect free speech he's threatening to shut down the 1 social media site? Only Trump would dream of that!

Such a cry baby!! Be a man!! Start telling the truth!! Stop with the propaganda!! Focus on getting PPE equipment etc to our front liners!! Get a handle on the racist bull crap!! Grow up and lead!!!

Trump’s order

AbkaFitzHenley Imagine what will happen between November and January if he loses the election🤔

Boris Johnson right now....

**Rolls Eyes in utter embarrassment** - The vast majority of the U.S.

UK: please. take us back. i beg.

It's just a misdirection tactic to try and get the headline 100,000 dead from Covid-19 in the USA off the main bulletins.

Americans have a chance to remove this man in November 2020. Take the opportunity presented to you. You ALL deserve better.

He thinks he's a dictator. He's a joke. Counting down the days until I MAIL in my ballot! NOVEMBER can't come soon enough. trump TrumpDeathToll100K TrumpIsALaughingStock

Funny how these right-wingers are such snowflakes.

But this is... dictatorship...

The BBC don’t do irony maitliswasright

How could both the USA and UK voters have been so stupid? History will not be kind to these 'leaders'.

Gestapoism runs in his blood...

Right now the US constitutions says that: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider (47 U.S.C. § 230). congress will have to amend that first, they won't

Orange skin and Crayola lemon colored hair. What a wimpy baby this man is. He is not a king. It’s time he learns that lesson. Never give up, always push back. Truth over lies.

I find it hilarious that people compared Trump with Reagan. Reagan never vilified the press to the extent of Trump. I think he would be turning on his grave with this. I would hope any anti-gov republican with some back bone would stand up up against this EO and not lick boot.

Do it! Then watch your base leave.

There really is no end to this pathetic excuse for a human

The man is an absolute nutter!

If you close it down Putin won’t be able to help you win the election?

HamidMirPAK u always objections 👎 on Pak govt & quote US as a standard for freedom of speech now check this. No one in the world want to hear truth about their self all r want to hear about others whats a pity ,sick mentality

There we go!! Just like china, north korea and russia.... authoritarian!

hes not wrong though, it is very biased towards the left, not sure about banning things though.

Take care what do you write

“I ONLY LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT. HOW DARE OTHERS DO THE SAME!” realDonaldTrump Twitter Jack

It actually means nothing and accomplishes nothing.

Anything to hide from the truth

KickTrumpoffTwitter

Trump is a big talk do nothing president. He can’t do anything.

Emperor Donald Maximus Clusterfux of the USA decrees Twitter be censored. No criticism of his lies is allowed. He's gone full on Goebbels and yet he's also doing a Caligula. He's like the worst people all rolled into one.

So it's a dictatorship in the 'land of the free'. Disturbing.

This American would like to formally apologize to the world for our president.

🤞🤞something good comes of it.

Let him sign it it’s unlawful and unconstitutional

America's a failed experiment and democracy. It would need the equivalent of the De-Nazification and re-education program after WWII to tackle its institutional problems.

kuku27 If he changes anything, he will not be able to communicate easily 24-7

He is rattled when Twitter put a check mark on his false tweet .. What ya'll say
