Trump accuses Twitter of 'stifling' free speech after fact check
“Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election," President Trump accused the social media giant after it fact-checked him on mail-in ballot claims. “Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!”

The first thing I thought when I saw this mentioned on MSNBC tonight was, just watch, Trump and the Rethugs will keep screaming about how "unfair" it is and how Twitter is trying to tilt the election to the Democrats and then Twitter will start adding fact checks to tweets by Joe Biden just so they won't appear to be "taking sides."

He is still able to create tweet with B$$$SHIT. The only difference is that there is a warning about a possible lie. No freedom of speech issue there....too bad Donny.
It is a private company too. What is more discouraging is not the fact that this type of BS is occurring on Twitter but it is being done by the leader of the free world. Would you hire him for your company?

He won't "allow" it? What will he do? Take his 80m followers to their competitor Zwitter and post his racist bullshit there? You could also start your own TV channel and social media platform since you're such a genius and have the best ratings, Donnie.

I thought Twitter closed down accounts of people who used their accounts to bully others online. Why is his account till open when he regularly resorts to name calling (e.g. "crooked hillary", "sleepy joe", "crazy nancy") and unsubstantiated accusations.
If his account closed down, he'd pitch a bigger bitchfit than Milo did.

I've long wondered the same r8. It must be money related. That's the only reason why any business does anything.

If they shut him down they lose a big chunk of users.

R9 & R11
Read in an interview or something yes, Twitter normally does shut down accounts of bullies and others who violate TOS; but that is not a blanket rule. Those that are good for business (like DT) often get a pass, at least a long bit of rope apparently.
Was wondering recently about how DT is able to get away with interfering with markets by making all sorts of Tweets about various covid-19 drugs/treatments and other things.

Buttfucking is good. Please stop maligning buttfucking. You're hurting its feelings.

They let KT Hopkins back on after she threatened a non-white woman (I have forgotten who, sorry) and after a history of harassing people for years, so there is no way they're going to ban Trump. Maybe after he's no longer president, but by then no one will be on Twitter anymore anyway.

Stifling Trump's speech is like stifling a fart. Nobody wants to smell that shit.

Words cannot express how much I hate this man. He is absolutely vile, one of the worst people to have ever existed. He's not even my president but I feel so much rage that something like that (and his whole enabling administration) are in power. It's what you expect of third world dictatorships, not the supposedly most advanced/powerful nation on the planet. Jesus fucking Christ I honestly don't know how people will be able to cope if he is re-elected. It will be the death of hope.

No, R4. He dies and we get Pence, which would be far, far worse.

I don’t quite follow his tactic. If his EO is aimed at stripping away SM protection for content of tweets, won’t they have to police content even more?

Hope for me died in November 2016. I was expecting the worst, but I never imagined how bad things would get.

What r23 said.
I'll grant you r19, The Stepford Vice is smarter than Trump, he's stealthier than Trump, and, unlike Trump, he's a true believer in the stupid righteousness of his right-wing Evangelical nonsense.
But, he also knows Trump Rabidians are just that. They ain't his. Sure, if Trump would do the right thing and suddenly topple over dead, the Repug Establishment will close ranks around him, but that's about it.

Pence would carry on doing the dulol and boring evil stuff he is supervising now, packing the judicial benches with despicable cronies and so on, while Trump does the screaming loony evil stuff.
