President Trump Threatens To Close Social Networks
According to the Independent, on May 27, US
President Donald Trump threatened to control or close social media
companies that did not support his position.
Sharing on Twitter, Mr. Trump continues to accuse the
technology platform of not maintaining an objective political viewpoint. The
president asserted that Republicans found social media platforms to completely
"silence" all voices from conservatives.
Trump warned the incumbent government to tightly control or
shut down these platforms and require websites to immediately change.
"Clean up your actions, immediately."
the US leader warned.
Trump's statement came after the social network Twitter
first alerted two of the status lines that the White House boss posted on his
personal page for readers to check the information.
In these tweets, referring to the postal voting plan
influenced by the COVID-10 epidemic, President Trump said that this form of
voting was "essentially a lie" and would lead to "election fraud."
Twitter's automatic warning has encouraged readers to verify
the incident and link to a page containing "truth about postal
voting". Twitter confirms this is the first time a security alert has
been applied to a president's post.
