So now Twitter is Trumps enemy of "Free Speech"?

Hows that again? Just because they tag some of his connects for fact checking.
Of course, if he doesnt want his "facts checked" all he has to do is stop Tweeting.
Oh the unfairness of it all!

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Would you want someone to win an election based on bullshit? I don't mind him bullshitting as long as people are warned he is bullshitting.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Lets forget for a moment that Twitter was Trumps weapon of choice to get his voice out to the faithful. Its not as he is being censored or even called out for any statements. Just a gentle suggestion that you might like to cross check what he says. We wouldnt want anyone drinking bleach, would we?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout In your dreams :P But I believe he isn't being silenced - they are just pointing people to actual facts in order to help them develop a balanced view. Surely we all trust Trump fans to read and assimilate facts? Oh - no, my mistake :P

@Adaydreambeliever Yes... You see where you went wrong there. 😉

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout legally, these social media sites have two choices: stay out of politics altogether and allow free speech or be regulated as publishers. They can't have it both ways. If they're going to take on the role as a fact checking agency, and have public trust, the government is going to regulate them, especially Democrats.

@SW-User Ahem... but we see Trump threatening to regulate them.. so I was puzzled as to why you felt it necessary to cite Dems. Do my spider senses detect that you are a Trump supporter and anti dem by any chance
