Trump accused Twitter of interfering in the 2020 presidential election” and declared “as president, I will not allow this to happen.” His campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said Twitter’s “clear political bias” had led the campaign to pull “all our advertising from Twitter months ago.” In fact, Twitter hasLate Wednesday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted, “We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally.
The president’s critics, meanwhile, scolded the platforms for allowing him to put forth false or misleading information that could confuse voters. “The irony that is lost here is that if these protections were to go away social media services would be far more aggressive in moderating content and terminating accounts,” Schruers said. “Our vibrant public sphere of discussion would devolve into nothing more than preapproved soundbites.”
The president and fellow conservatives have been claiming, for years, that Silicon Valley tech companies are biased against them. But there is no evidence for this — and while the executives and many employees of Twitter, Facebook and Google may lean liberal, the companies have stressed they have no business interest in favoring on political party over the other.
I hope you wake up tomorrow and your Twitter account has been cancelled mr. Trump. You violated their policies with your vile comments about that lady who died of a heart failure and a head injury. Just trying to start a conspiracy. Resign Trump!!
Does this allow us to sue FoxNews IngrahamAngle seanhannity , et al for their deliberate lies to the American public? AFF
Twitter Fact check his ass again! 😂🤣 that’ll really ruffle his slimy feathers
jgopikrishnan70 legal expert , sources - salma quoting sabrina ! fantastic ! isn't it a good news for MSM & public ! atlease those who believe in FOE must be happy -level playing field !
Good! Mail in ballots have been around worldwide with little evidence of fraud. Trumps order will be a good thing because we can drag this thru the courts and publicize his evidence that fraud has happened in the past. Great news!
Twitter has fact checked all his lies for years. Two checks and King Baby goes ballistic. What a role model for what not to do.
Nothing but a bully!!
I say Jack see his EO and raise him a deleted twitter account. Jackpot
WBRCnews Another temper tantrum. Someone needs to put baby hands in time out.
It's not bias against Conservatives. It's bias against lies. And Conservatives tell a LOT of lies, so it affects them more. Mail-in ballots have never been 'substantially fraudulent' and Trump has used a mail-in ballot himself, as has his press secretary. Lies.
AP: this raises the subject: For those of us in the news media “illegal alien” is not hate speech and we will continue to use the term. You are either legal or illegal and a citizen or an alien. They are legal terms and not up for your 'guidebook' to decide our usage.
He already has Google and now face book is genuflecting, I say just CXL his account. Why not, can you imagine the world with out the Rantings of the unruly ruler...lol
If Twitter is curbing conservatives, then why the fuck are they screaming bullshit from the top of every brothel and sweat shop they can find?
Contrary to what he said, he can NOT do anything. Apparently, he has never read the POTUS job description - otherwise known as The Constitution.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but *reality* has a well known liberal bias.
How dare anyone interfere with trump's lies, provocations and bullying. The nerve
High on the distraction meter.
He needs to get off Twitter if he doesn't like their policies. No one care what Zukerberg thinks. He is correcting COVID19 news and deleting videos on his own platform. If Trump 'can't stand the heat, he needs to get out of the kitchen'.
“Expressed doubts”? Are you kidding me, media? How about you laugh him out of the building like this type of action deserves? Then change the title to “there’s no effing chance” Trump can do much by himself.
Social media isn’t a problem for anyone who is honest.
And there won't be an act of congress. Senator HawleyMO already tried this type of stunt last year.
LOL
Another commercial break brought to you by WhiteHouse to turn us away from life’s current tragedies...COVID-19 100k+, The brutality of dying on video once again (GeorgeFloyd), and millions out of work. History written in Black/white and now an “Executive Order” on media. 🙄🙄
I can NOT wait for this trashy man to leave.
Simple Solution-1- Unfollow 2-Vote
Anyone want to take a guess At the number of Chinese and Russian accounts commenting on this subject?
Jack needs to ban trump.
Nice Picture, looks like the potus is giving us the finger 🤫, fakenews ran by fake progressive liberal aholes nevertrust
There is no way. Especially since corporations are people with first amendment rights per the Supreme Court. Lol.
Move your headquarters overseas jack
This is how he’s spending his time and energy on as we have economic disaster, people dying still and protests
Bias is pretty bad...
Just the latest in trying to work the refs in favor of far-right views, which is already all over social media networks. It’s a bullshit narrative, he doesn’t have the authority, and he still willingly let 100,000 Americans die because he was criminally negligent.
suspendtrumpstwitteraccount
“Twitter war” used to mean something different...
The AP doesn’t think their is bias? Hmm, obviously they don’t read crap the AP prints or crap💩Don Lemmmon spits out on CNN! FAKE NEWS
Cabrón, malrrayo lo parta 20 veces! Oh? speak 'American' you say? OK! Motherfucker dictator-wannabe-president! Better?
'Legal experts like Vodka Pelosi and Adam Schittmyself? I'm not too concerned with their opinions
It's worth about as much as the sharpie he used to sign it.
To this Pre. ,twitter more important than a life.
Yeah POTUS good luck bud 1stAmendment read up it might do you some good lol
Little boy acting up
Fact check because history will not if we do not
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏THIS IS WHY I LOVE TRUMP👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌💫✨🗽TRUMP2020💪💯%🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why did you change the photo didn't think I needed to screenshot it
Ah yes, our ‘Republican’ president at work again
Social media is only a platform. All the muck is created by people.
Aww, widdle Donny is having anover tantwum!
If you don’t like Twitter close your account get off of it stop tweeting just try something else do you usually do
Time for Twitter to BAN TRUMP !! Who wants to be liable for Trump’s lying piles of shit ? BanTrumpFromTwitter
If you don’t like how Twitter works why don’t you just close your account ?
He could be doing something related to the worst public health disaster and economic depression in generations, but nah.
Considering how he's a constant state of TOU violations, he better hope that Twitter doesn't ban him and turn his microphone off..
....Is that pic from today? What is that hand signal supposed to be? God, how did we wind up with such a classless jerk in the WH?
Now more than ever, it is vital that we ALL call out Trump's lies. Patriotism starts with devotion to the truth, and to holding our leaders accountable to the truth.
All conservatives alleged the same thing, so there must be something in it!
Gaslighting
TimInHonolulu This is what's really rolling around in realdonaldtrump's head.
To diminish Trumps ability to lie is to cut off his oxygen. He's aware that the lies are sacred and the key to obtaining what he wants. Always ask this question, What's in it for Trump?
Stop reporting this like it's normal. The headline should read: 'Presidnet uses government to punish private companies calling out his lies'
This is a blatant attempt to limit first amendment rights. This is the work of a dictatorship, not a democracy!
DEFLECTING!!!
Just CXL his account. This is getting very scary!!! n.korea,china, Russia and a few other countries and now AMERICA!!!! We're supposed to be the the World symbol for Democracy, not suppression, propaganda and control.
Bravo! Censorship must end now!
Such a fragile little ego that alpha male wannabe has. 🙄
Do I have this straight? Foreign governments use social media to influence our elections, cyber-bullying...sexual predators lure children via social media...Twitter 'fact checks' the President's tweet & NOW we get an executive order against social media? Am I missing something?
We're fed up with you, Trump.
jgopikrishnan70 realDonaldTrump go for it, social medias can't act as an inner voice of their shareholders. And promoters not to reap rainfalls at the expense to a Left fall
46th
Is he trying to flip people off? does he not know how to flip people off? What is this gesture that he’s doing?
100,000 dead and this is Trump's top priority? The doltish, uncaring lout is pounding sand. This is going nowhere. What a fool. Hurricane season starts June 1. Wildfire season in SoCal is in fall. Flu season after that. We need a good, competent President. VoteBlue2020
What legal precedent does 'bias against conservatives' have for signing an executive order that eliminates protections for private social media companies?
Maybe Trump should cancel his accounts, along with the entire GOP, in protest?
netflix FilthyRich
Admitting that 'conservatives' want to be able to LIE freely!
The administration is trying to legally protect their right to mislead and lie. Honesty is no longer a part of the American vocabulary. The rest of the world should side with Twitter. Just the facts m'aam. For Everyone.
The Congress will not want to be seen as dictator because that what Congress themselves will call any other President that does it
Long, long overdue. Jack and his frauds have inhibited and banned conservatives for way too long on twitter. Their application of their so-called 'rules' is arbitrary with no transparency. Its time that the major soc media sites be regulated as monopoly utilities.
Looks like he tried to ‘double bird’, but as usual, is a little off...
Didn't that bloke from The Apprentice steal money from a cancer charity?
Another waste of time on bullshit.
I don't see Idiocracy in there. Definitely should be included.
Hmm, I wonder if twitter will finally remove the realDonaldTrump profile now that he's threatened Twitter? Twitter let him slide when he threatened war and attacked individuals and now twitter is paying the price for letting him violate the user terms!!
NOv. 3rd can't come fast enough!!!
The administration is trying to legally protect their right to mislead and lie. Honesty is no longer a part of the American vocabulary. The rest of the world should side with Twitter. Nothing but the facts m'aam.
Private companies like Twitter and Facebook shouldn't be getting federal money anyway.
The ultimate snowflake...lol
IT WILL GO NOWHERE, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A BIAS!! THE IDIOT POTUS HAS A BIAS AGAINST ANYONE WHO DOESNT SUPPORT HIS HATE AGENDA!! YOU NEED TO QUIET THIS MORON, BEFORE HE CREATES A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN HE ALREADY HAS!! BLOOD IS ON THE WHITEHOUSE IF HE KEEPS THIS CRAP UP!!!
So more censorship... That is all I currently can imagine coming out of this.
...bias against liars...
Remember they are packing the courts, so don’t be surprised.
Good news.
Twitter , Facebook and all other social media platforms should suspend all operations for 30 days while they create a joint review board to review posts that contain alleged false and misleading content. FightBack
There can’t be enough fact-checking of this president.
proflevin This is not accurate. They’ve said he cannot alter a federal statute with an executive order. That’s a factual position.
The snowflake protection act of 2020, passed by EO amidst a pandemic that killed over 100K Americans in two months.
He’s such a snowflake
realDonaldTrump is so pissed off his sadism & lying is being called out on Twitter. He will go down as Don the Demented. His last name will be used by no one, his descendants will change their name.
EFF
What a waste of the office
It’s ignorant and despicable, 18k plus lies should not go unchecked. These are private platforms who frankly has done a dismal job of holding the president to the same standards as other Americans.
Fake news he calls it, how about it now when he is accused of fake facts
Owwww Twitter you mad Big Peach mad!!he gonna cut of y’all internet because he is the one true King Petty!
Trump and conservatives want to protect their right to spread lies.
proflevin ResponsibleRegulationOfSocialMedia yes, realDonaldTrump sign your executive order and help us get rid of YOU!
dhfull50 WE CamdenWatch ... Let's make ... TWITTER GREAT AGAIN ... worldwide simple as for everyone to ... BLOCK-BAN-DELETE & too report Trumps tweets as inappropriately offensive back to TWITTER HQ ... The world would be a safer place without Trumps insane tweets !!!
His argument should be, congress can vote to get rid of the sec 230 liability shield and then if Twitter finds his tweets offensive they can just delete them. Difference is they will be deleting the average twitter trolls bad tweets too, not just verified famous people.
Time for jack to protect Twitter from lawsuits by banning Twitler
It's not bias against conservatives, it's bias against untruths, which is the bedrock principle of conservatives.
Trump's 'constitution' totally eliminates the FIRST AMENDMENT and is limited to HIS VERSIONS of the 2nd and 10th Amendments. America has NO NEED for an AUTHORITARIAN 'president' who only wants to RULE by his 'gut'. Thankfully Trump will be gone next year. TrumpRotGut
The big orange snowflake finally got nicked on 2 of 18,000 bullshit tweets and he melted down again.
Jackasses are going to brey.
Factcheck Trump
Twitter needs to ban Trump; he is nothing without Twitter.
He acted quicker on this than he did on the pandemic.
What kind of heading is this ?
The easiest way for Democrats to get under the skin of DopeyDon is to question all the GOP Senators & Department Heads that are involved in Committees or other Government Business that are doing Trump agendas and not their jobs. Keep asking the 5Whys to them. TrumpHasNoPlan
Americans are 'fed up' with YOUR pathological lying. Sorry, simple genius, but you don't get a free pass to lie with impunity. Twitter is a PRIVATE company. If you don't like their policy of calling out amoral scumbags who lie through their teeth, quit using their FREE service!
The crying, whining and bitching from the right never ends.
Ganar dinero desde internet +59899283076
Yeah, we’re fed up with your lies tRump!
Because he is our DICKtator, he should be able to lie and get away with it. However, most of us are used to his lies, even his 'loyal' followers.
Not “Alleging” , more like “Exposing” bias against conservatives. Fact check this one Twitter Should be posting a warning real soon
The dog who barks can't bite while he is barking. Lots of barking coming from the WH. His Exec. Order is BS for his base to see. W/o Congress is a paper not good for anything. Apropo, Are magarats against regulations, or only when it serves them?
Many people have said Sir why don’t you start your own version of Twitter, call it Trumper. This would own the libs. Trumper TrumpIsAnIdiot
Why is realDonaldTrump going after RickMammana? mediagiant
What we REALLY need is another impotent act of rage by our child President when 100,000 people have died and the coronavirus pandemic is raging on..... said no one, ever.
aartipole FB is biased toward conservatives in my experience
❄ ❄ ❄
Oh...and we’re under a state of emergency sooooooo might wanna recheck this.
When I read this and Trump supporters agree...
Yeah... These companies should be sued for NOT JUST BEING A PLATFORM LIKE THEY SAY THEY ARE. Now they are giving in kind donations to the Biden camp and editing people on the platform. I didnt remember the phone company listening in on our calls and stopping our service.
If a single man can change so easily the US Law on such issue, this can't be a democracy!
I can see a federal judge somewhere over turning this by the end of the week.
Just like he can’t do much of anything without Putin.
Republicans will let him do it
AP should fucking cease to report news. No difference between them and CNN.
Sadly, the President is constitutionally impotent to enforce his desires toward Twitter. 😕😢
can = can't
Please tell me the picture showing trump flipping people off fake.
China, Virus, Media, Democrats, Past Presidents, American Citizens, Reporters, Children, American Military Personnel,...show me how POTUS is getting his credible facts, and how man times he is asking the same person, himself.
Written on toilet paper because all it's good for is wiping his ass.
'Trump escalating war on Twitter' AP cant see their own bias in their 'journalism' using words like 'escalating war'. Seems like AP is continuing their WAR on Trump 'Alleging bias against conservatives' AP just proved their own bias realDonaldTrump
No more Trump on Twitter or Facebook.
He can sign an order, but it doesn't make such order a law. An order that targets free speech I think calls for a Constitutional Congress and a proposal to Amend the Constitution and its Articles. Congress finds that a hideous and years consuming process (State ratification).
realDonaldTrump We the people are fed up with you. NovemberIsComing TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Social platforms reflect society and society in 2020 want to move forward and conservatives are holding you back. The US doesnt even have universal health care. Youve fallen behind the rest of the developed world and now they want to make it law to keep you misinformed.
Dictator. God help us if he gets another term. What a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth if DT get another term. He is going to rule with a rod of iron. Where mi ancestors come from again? just in case mi have to seek refuge from the tyrant. Mass emigration if Trump win
TeresaMWalker Make the bold move Twitter and suspend this guy's account for 24 hours. You never hesitate when it comes to my account.
Reminder he reacted quicker to twitter than Covid. Next week is June and we still don’t have adequate testing or contact tracing He’s a true Wasteman.
If traitor Obama can create an entire unconstitutional healthcare plan mandating sign up with penalties if you don’t...Trump can make sure social media is fair and balanced. No brainer. Phone and a pen.
Your next
I think Trump ought to BOYCOTT Twitter and tell his minions to do the same.......... heh heh
Kinda like getting rid of Obamacare or building a wall. He says a lot of stuff but...
CLOWN DICTATOR 🤡🤡🤡
The f*kin’ alpha snowflake in chief!
so, calking out your lies and propaganda is bias? I don't think you know what the word means. if u call a liar a liar, it isn't a biased act.
You are the Bully (Trump) Stop lying and this would not of happen. Why I always put a source to back up anything I put on Twitter. Twitter gives me and everyone a voice...
Ostrov_A It's not alleged, AP. Your integrity is in the toilet. Nobody believes you any more!
Imagine how many lives could of been saved in America if Trump was as fed up with COVID-19 as he is with being fact checked.
One gigantic orange snowflake
And even with Congress this would end up in the court system for years.
Because republicans refused to remove him from office, the whole country now must suffer uncontrollably abuse ... all the reason why people should not vote for a single republican ... including dog catcher.
Trump and his followers are the epitome of the snowflake definition that they love to throw around ❄️
'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.'
Pathetic Twitter in chief
Look at this idiot. Ugh
Nice photo you picked there, real unbiased stuff.
Has he received permission from his boss 🇷🇺 on this? It could disturb their plans for meddling in the election this year 🤔 No worries, if he gets “the call” he’ll rescind without explanation and start a Twitter feud with some random politician to distract. SAD!
Lol, good luck fatty president bruh
It takes a super majority of votes from congress to amend the First Amendment
This a direct attack on “freedom of the press” 🤣 how about the White House regulates how this guy uses his platform on the app?
more snowing in DC . . the orange snowflake is at it again
Just another BS thing intended to slowly make its way to the Supreme Court ideally for Trump after the election.
Yea, this is dumb and a bad prescedent. I think these platforms are biased (all are) and censorious, but the government is a bigger threat to free speech.
So when asked, 'Why Don't You Close Your Account'?.. The A-Hole deflects and calls out the reporter... I hope Twitter closes your account for you !!!
You know what to do, Twitter.
No dictatorship! It takes a super majority of votes from congress to amend the First Amendment
whine whine whine
Trump is basically fighting for his right to lie to Americans.
Good he needs to go
I guess we will finally see how many in Congress are actually oath breakers after all of this.
Because someone said Alex Jones cannot use social media to spout his bullshit lies suddenly it's all about censoring conservatives when there are too many conservative tweets to count everyday.
Fuck him. He’s still going to lose.
What’s exactly is he fed up with? We are the ones fed up with his tweets which so many aren’t factual!
Follow EezyWayOut_
It takes a super majority of votes from congress to amend the First Amendment
The asshole seems to be saying 'I dare you. Do something about it.' We need to do something about it. We need mass action of some kind. Maybe we can find ways to use social media to bring down the tyrant? I am thinking...I am thinking...
he so ridiculous
Trump wants to have first amendment protections so he can flood the world with 1000s of lies. But he doesn't want to extend first amendment protections to Twitter when it fact checks & corrects his 1000s of lies. This shows that Trump misunderstands & disdains the 1st amendment
The Internet:
😂😂😂😂
aren't we all fed up? we don't have to put up with him any more. RESIGN. he can be forced to resign. nobody do anything until he resigns.
The meltiest snowflake of them all
