Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said he stands by the company’s decision to fact-check 2 tweets by President Trump, as the White House prepares an executive order aimed at cracking down on online platforms.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said he stands by the company's decision to fact-check two tweets by President Trump, even as it has attracted intense criticism by Trump and his allies.

Twitter added a link to two of Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots that said, "Get the facts about mail-in ballots." In a series of Tweets late Wednesday, Dorsey addressed the firestorm created by the company's decision to. Twitter on Tuesday added a link under two of Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots that said, "Get the facts about mail-in ballots." When clicked, the links directed users to a page that said, in part, "Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to 'a Rigged Election.

"This does not make us an 'arbiter of truth,'" Dorsey wrote. "Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions."

twitterJP has suspended some accounts that are fighting against racism. you know racism is NOT acceptable in any country. do something!! tell yusasamoto and twitter jp haven't done the right things. it's your call. just do your job. show us your conscience A.S.A.P.

Keep standing up Dorsey!! America needs you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 We are tired of watching Trump divide and concur our country with his lies.

Let us know how that rectal exam works out for ya there Jackson.....

It’s now time for you Jack to shutdown the Oval Office. He’s destroying the country.

Twitter's times up?

Mr. Dorsey, I applaud your bold action in regards to the Trump situation. It's your platform. And he should be held accountable just as anyone else. He is not above the law or your terms of service. DumpTRUMP Twitter JackDorsey

While Twitter enforces it's farcical rules against most of us, Trump continues to insult, threaten, slander and bully people unabated, Dorsey lacks the integrity and courage to suspend his account!

I am thankful for Twitter sticking to their decision!

trump has enough hate tweets and lies to be expulsed from the tweeter platform JackDorsey

What sort of genius logs onto social media and actually expects to find the truth? That's almost as moronic as watching the news on TV.

Twitter needs to “crack down” by removing the Trumpster Fire from the platform

Im wirh jack.

Great show of strength

Love you jack

jack Thank you for finally standing up to this man that lives on your twitter feed,, so many are so proud that you are taking the stand to “TRUTH” BE PROUD 👏🏼👍🏼 we are!! He posts so many lies at least you took action on this one realDonaldTrump CNN

Good. For the people

I was kicked for 24 hours for using a word that accurately described a high profile user. the terms of service should apply to ALL. once November has come n gone and Jacky boy stops filling his drawers with pungent fear crap..the entire Trump family should be kicked off.

JSavoly all of us need to stand with him it's all of our jobs to get the truth out if dictator trump don't like it so be it we live in the united states of america not russia

He is king

Stop lies & conspiracy theories!

Biased yellows, you say everything except the obvious truth: no fact checking done on leftists in media and politics! That's the whole point! Trump can be countered by Dems! If Twitter wants to do it, let them declare they're part of one party!

Is he going to support China Spokesman disinformation compaign as well?

Twitter is trash anyway

Shut the fucking platform down, jack

Of course he does because he far left. How many dems have they done it for ? Read some of AOC tweets .

Absolutely the right thing for Twitter to do. Anyone else would have had their account deleted. If Trump would stop spreading lies he wouldn't have to worry about fact checks. I am sure it won't change him because he has no ability to tell the truth. Only his version of truth.

I hope they don't censor Martians,Gee whiz golly.I found People,animals,civilization MARS 2004,designed Mars Rovers 1987.People wear light clothes,no spacesuits,no breathing devices

Wow.. Jack Dorsey..you are a joke and your one sided fact checking shows and defines who you are...

Meanwhile, the mainstream media never gets checked. Biased?

Twitter is an appendage of CNN.

This would work if there was any reliable media outlet...not the case these days

Twitter with its liberal agenda. Parler!

Fact checking is the highest form of FREE SPEECH and the biggest determinant of successful decision-making. Why would anyone want to stop that?

Trump = Hitler

Check more!

Shut down Twitter for at least a week. Make it a vacation for Twitter workers. That will really boil Trump as he won’t be able to vent

Twitter’s “fact checking” is a sham - just another attempt of the liberal “false news” media to brain-wash people; looks like I may have to delete my twitter account....

Funny how you can use your source and get supposed facts that aren’t true to fact check the President. Jack Dorsey is a joke. Talking about collusion to influence an election.

Good luck to him! I feel certain that this could be beat in the Supreme Court.

Thanks Jack way to go

Stand your ground!

Trump would be nothing without Twitter. As always, careful what you wish for.

Everybody should see the Project_Veritas videos on how conservatives are being targeted... Its in their OWN WORDS...

Two? Fact checked ALL OF HIS TWEETS! realDonaldTrump can leave twitter and delete his account!

Our president realDonaldTrump is a runaway train. The only way it will stop is after it devastated everything at its arrival destination. Our President realDonaldTrump is a Tyrant, he takes away our 1st A freedoms in order to gain political advantage. VOTE

JACK OFF

100k Americans dead due to Covid, 40 million unemployed, and the President goes to War with social media because he got fact checked on Twitter. 2020

It’s called FREE SPEECH, NOT FACT-CHECKED SPEECH! I don’t want alternative information to my warped view of the world. end sarcasm

Twitter... SuspendTrumpTwitter is the only way. Have some courage to continue the fight for truth!

I’ll look to neither CNBC, nor twitter for facts. Last time I checked, Twitter was a thought and opinion sharing platform- not a fact feed

Good.

Wait, does this guy have a nose ring? And, he's the arbiter of truth? GTFOOH

We've had enough. and it's a damn good start. MOOnly

Jack was clearly wrong tho. Why didn’t he admit it!

FreeSpeech

Stand your ground

Stalin.

Will he check the 50+ millions others full of fake news?

Just deleted the Presidents account and move on! They delete accounts all the time. Ends this charade once and for all! Twitter TwitterSafety

Stand tall Jack

Fact checking by linking to a CNN article? Lol. That’s like putting the liars in charge of being the hall monitors

You go jack !

Bullish Markets up 🚀

Facts are the arbiter of truth not the messenger. If Trump feels that he has facts to counter another, then he should present them. FactsRule FactsRNotOpinions

If he didn't lie he wouldn't be afraid of fact checking. I stand by your decision Jack - fact check all his posts !!!
