President Trump on Tuesday night accused Twitter of 'interfering' in the 2020 presidential election after the company attached a fact check to two of his tweets that made false claims about mail-in ballots
President Trump on Tuesday night accused Twitter of"interfering" in the 2020 presidential election after the company attached a fact check to two of his tweets that made false claims about mail-in ballots.
Trump declared that mail-in ballots are fraudulent, which led Twitter to include links in the tweets redirecting users to a page with facts on the issue. This was the first time Twitter has labeled Trump's tweets as being misleading, and he was quick to respond, claiming that the company is"completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!"
Twitter did not delete any of his tweets, despite calls to do so by people directly affected by his messages, nor did the company ban his account. In a statement, a Twitter spokesperson said his tweets"contain potentially misleading information about the voting process and have been labeled to provide additional context." Trump dismissed Twitter's fact checking, saying the research was conducted by"Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post.
