President Donald Trump holds up a copy of the New York Post as he speaks before signing an executive order aimed at curbing protections for social media giants, in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, May 28, 2020, in Washington.
But it also heightens the dangers of polarization. “When you can’t agree on the state of the world, you open up opportunities for people to question the motives of others,” Pasek said. He says that makes existing conflicts worse and de-legitimizes people with diverging views. “You make it easier to see those people who differ from you as less American.”
The feud with Twitter serves as a convenient distraction for Trump from major challenges he currently faces, such as controlling the coronavirus pandemic and managing an economy hard-hit by COVID-19 restrictions. Unlike in those arenas, where researched hard numbers can mute the president’s points, in the me-vs.-them battle of Trump and Twitter, his ability to make his point can be based largely on volume and bluster.
The social media companies and their critics are arguing over when and how they should regulate the content on their platforms as coronavirus misinformation swirls and the 2020 U.S. presidential election looms. It has reached the point where it’s virtually impossible for social platforms to remain neutral — and where even fact-checking can mean taking a political stance.
Trump needs to be removed from Twitter he is too dangerous
Such distraction ‘& so much projecting realDonaldTrump has been UNFIT since day one most unfortunately
if realDonaldTrump changes his social media platform, many will follow
What a load of crap!!
Trump - a colossal ass.
Just ban him. Wtf is he gonna do
SHOULD HAVE SUSPENDED HIS ACCT like they have done to all of us!
Is twitter going to do the same to other politicians? Journalists? Celebrities?
Just an attempt by the Left to censor the right.
Republican Senators could stop this right now.
Jack Dorsey & his crew are showing persons who read trumps tweets that the ideas he is trying to push are actually inaccurate. Like giving ballots to unregistered voters. We r talking but the most powerful man in the free world suggesting we inject disinfectant. MrYuk
but no attachments on piglosi,schiff comey? hmmm does not seem fair and it isn't- that is why the justice department just activated code 220 of the FCC - too bad for twitter hahahhahahahaha
KathleenMcCarr8 No, this is fact checking of trumps obvious lies ffs.
Wow I love how the press is now a advocate for suppressing free speech!
It's not a feud or division. It's reality vs lies, propaganda.
Can they suspend his account?
Twitter is going down 🤣😂🤣😂
Except it’s selective censorship.
onthe4wind He's holding up the NY Post which everyone from NY knows is part sports paper, part car floor mat.
try again.. look into Obama's presidency then do a true segment on division....
DonaldTrump has broadly & repeatedly said, 'The press is the enemy of the people!' This is something Joseph Goebbels said. It's what fringe crazed Republicans have said. Well, Twitter had to deal with this situation. They picked a sensible solution DonaldTrump isn't sensible.
wolv1000 Ha! Sounds more like you DNC media hacks.
He'll never leave Twitter. If he did, he'd have no outlet other then Fox. And that won't last to long
Long overdue!!!
How about the president of the United states doesn't use twitter anymore. Problem solved. None of his tweets ever, ever have done any good
Trump needs to start worrying about the carnage he caused instead of his ego.
Crisis is the mans favorite terrain. Twitter gives him a much larger audience than msm ever could. Chess is a great game, if you have the intellect
It’s helpful for those that don’t do research, to know the majority of what drumpfy tweets, are lies LiarInChief
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏🤦♀️
Michigan is still in parell and now Minneapolis, California wild fires, Kansas weathers, Texas border wall, what's next? Canada invades? Trump needs an asylum, can we speed up the Voting, an easier way, Ted Cruz will vote Trump even if we all were to vote Biden, sell out
Just ban him. He will go ballistic. He will show who he really is (to little surprise) and everyone will be better for it.
Thank you twitter for doing it. Put that orange loser in his place
POTUS is Trump's official Presidential account that must provide access to the people. realDonaldTrump is Trump's PERSONAL Twitter account, and therefore subject to Twitter's TOS. THAT account should be accountable to the terms Twitter has set and be REMOVED when VIOLATED.
🎶... And down will come Donald, Twitter and all
Civil unrest in the name of justice does not justify destroying innocent people's property. If you're angry, go burn your own property and leave others alone.

Bat shit crazy president
It’s about damn time.

Trump lies about everything
You seem to be missing the point. You can't edit one person's tweets because you think they are not appropriate and ignore others peoples tweets that are also inappropriate. That's discrimination.
Just in time, huh.. 💦
Look at all the tweets from celebrities calling for the rioters to escalate their violence. I don't see their Twitter accounts being tagged, blocked, or taken down. What a joke.
I can't believe you are supporting censorship as a media org. AP used to be a staple of news. NO MORE
Good that Jack Dorsey is finally doing something about Trump's nonstop lies. Time somebody took him to the mat about the truth and his responsibility to tell it. Zuckerberg is too big a suck-up to do anything but suck up, but at least Dorsey is trying to do the right thing.
Honesty is part of maturation. Acceptance of shortcomings, building character. Sometimes when things go wrong,... for anyone. They become angry, upset, nasty. Think how comforting changing what reality is, in your own mind and thinking you have in the minds of others. Piss poor.
Well liberals and establishment swamp people tried everything to beat realDonaldTrump but nothing will work. 4MOREYEARS
Social media companies such as twitter must decide if their platforms are going to be a theatre by which governments/ regimes can facilitate misinformation and conduct propaganda wars.
I don't see much in terms of promoting violence against peaceful citizens realDonaldTrump !!
Pathetic lying media. One day you all will be held accountable for your treason
Modern Liberalism showing its tyranny
Every lie damages someone.
Jack Dorsey is entitled to Free Speech. Like all of us.
Lefties and so-called Liberals wish to destroy Western nations and indoctrinate children. Well, we aren't going to tolerate that. They can get stuffed!
Hilarious how conservatives are all for small gov’t but now it’s supposed to take over private companies. What a joke
I wouldn’t have called it but Twitter’s jack is the leader in finally starting to bring some ethics to social media platforms.
Poor folks at twitter how will they keep up with all the lies he tells?
At least twitter is doing the right thing. Facebook bows down to trump because they are scared of him. But the thing is we shouldn’t have to worry about the president citing riots and the lies go on and on to the point it is harming our nation. DumpTrump2020 ImpeachedForever
Problem is they only fact check what they don't agree with.
…but they skip Obama’s lies, skip lies out of Tehran, skip lies of the Communist party China, skip the lies of the WHO. Nope none of their allies seem to get “fact checked” or censored. Only Twitter’s political enemies do.
Lets all follow trumps distractions about twitter... While the country is in a full out energency !
Will there be warning for other Twiiter users content as well? Others say similar things all the time. Will this be a new change?
The is lucky that Twitter doesn't fact check half the stuff they put out.
Someone forgot to explain the Presidency is an actual job not a 4 year campaign rally. Tell him to get off Twitter And Do His Damn Job! 103,000 deceased Americans and 39 million unemployed Americans and he is worried about his insane tweets! The Trump Agenda Dead or Broke 2020!
Why not let people judge for themselves? I don’t need twitter to tell me how i should comprehend something
bruh he literally threatened to shoot protesters
You spelled 'Tech censorship of conservatives' wrong.
Twitter is Publisher then ?
“American Division”? You spelled “Trump lies” wrong
It’s one sided censorship
