President Donald Trump signed an executive order today aimed at addressing social media censorship. Breitbart News has broken down the order into its key components, which include defining social media as the “modern public square,” and potentially changing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the crucial legal protection enjoyed exclusively by the Big Tech Masters of the Universe.

“I believe it is time to ‘get the facts’ about Twitter and other social media platforms targeting their bias against President Trump and conservatives online,” McEnany said during the White House press briefing on Thursday afternoon.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday in the White House to defend free speech on social media.

“So ridiculous to see Twitter trying to make the case that Mail-In Ballots are not subject to FRAUD,” Trump wrote. “How stupid, there are examples, and cases, all over the place.”

Vijaya Gadde, the legal, policy, and trust and safety lead at Twitter, is at the center of the company’s decision to fact check President Donald Trump and has donated to Democrats, as well as exhibited strong anti-Trump bias in her own posts to the platform.

Twitter began “fact-checking” Trump’s tweets but let Schiff, Swalwell, and Lieu claim that the president’s campaign colluded with Russia.

Even as the criticism of Wikipedia’s left-wing political bias intensifies, including from the site’s co-founder Larry Sanger, the major tech platforms continue to use the online encyclopedia in their services and rely on it as a model for addressing “fake news” concerns. Rather than improving their services, the integration of Wikipedia into Big Tech platforms has, instead, made them disseminate false or biased information.

Just one day after Breitbart News reported that Twitter had failed to “fact check” Chinese accounts promoting conspiracy theories about the Wuhan coronavirus, Twitter has applied a “fact check” label to two posts by China Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian that were included in Breitbart’s report on the platform’s failure to hold the communist nation to account for its misinformation on the Chinese virus.

In 2018, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared before Congress where he made a number of claims, such as stating that Twitter is a “public square” and that the platform had unfairly filtered 600,000 accounts from search results, something Dorsey described as a failure of the company’s “intended impartiality.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) lamented Thursday that Twitter is too “selective” in its so-called fact-checking of President Donald Trump, suggesting the social media giant should be taking further action against his account.

In an interview that aired Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weighed in on President Donald Trump’s feud with Twitter after the social media platform recently inserted fact-checking links to his tweets about vote-by-mail.

In a recent series of Tweets, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended his recent decision to “fact check” and place warnings on two of President Donald Trump’s tweets. According to Dorsey, Twitter “fact checking” the president does not make the company an “arbiter of truth,” claiming that instead, the site was attempting to “connect the dots of conflicting statements.”

President Donald Trump on Thursday previewed upcoming executive action targeting social media companies for censoring conservatives.

During a portion of an interview set to air on Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Daily Briefing” released on Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his disagreement with Twitter putting a fact-check label on one of President Trump’s

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on social media censorship amid rapidly intensifying political bias from the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, questioning why his company should continue to receive Section 230 legal immunity when they editorialize President Donald Trump’s tweets.

Appearing Wednesday on the Fox News Channel, network senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said he will “defend to the death” Twitter’s right to fact check President Donald Trump.

Twitter recently added a “fact check” to President Trump’s tweets relating to his concerns about mail-in voting fraud. Here is how Twitter made the decision to suddenly start fact-checking public figures on its platform.

Hollywood actor and rapper Ice Cube shared with his 4.9 million Twitter followers a photo that falsely links former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and felon and Twitter troll Jonathan Riches wearing a “Make Whites Great Again” hat. Ice Cube’s tweet with the image has been retweeted more than 24,000 times, despite the fact that it’s in violation of the same misinformation guidelines that the company is currently using to punish conservatives on the platform. 

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will announce today that he is working with Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee to craft legislation that would strip social media giants of their Section 230 legal immunity if they fact check content on their platforms, according to a copy of his podcast which Breitbart News exclusively obtained.

Leftists have launched a new dark money group called “Accountable Tech” aimed at “combating misinformation online.”

Recently Twitter added a “fact check” label to President Donald Trump’s tweets about the concerns surrounding mail-in voting fraud, but the social media site has failed to apply those same fact-checking measures to verified Chinese government accounts that spread coronavirus misinformation on the platform.

Twitter has failed to take action as several verified accounts on Wednesday posted a photo falsely linking a Minneapolis police officer — infamous after he was caught on video kneeling on a now-deceased black man’s neck — with a man wearing a “Make Whites Great Again” baseball hat.

Left-wing “explainer” website Vox reports Wednesday that leading billionaires in Silicon Valley are joining forces to build a digital campaign around former Vice President Joe Biden, who is holed up in his Wilmington, Delaware, home.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Wednesday urged President Donald Trump to cease pushing the conspiracy theory alleging MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough murdered his one-time aide, calling the accusations “vile” and “baseless.”

Hollywood celebrities are gloating over Twitter’s decision to slap President Donald Trump with a “fact check” of his recent tweets about vote by mail.  Stars including Rob Reiner, Dave Bautista, George Takei, and Alyssa Milano have voiced their approval of Twitter’s actions against the president.

President Donald Trump this week slammed Twitter for fact-checking his tweets about vote-by-mail and said he would look to regulate social media platforms for their efforts to “silence conservatives.”

Twitter for the first time put a fact-check label on tweets from President Trump, using the controversial tactic on messages in which the president complained there is “no way” that “mail-in ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.”

President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued tweeting about the conspiracy theory surrounding Joe Scarborough and the death of one of his interns, despite Twitter’s attempt to check the president’s freedom to post what he wanted on the platform.

Twitter added a “fact check” label to President Donald Trump’s tweets raising widely-held concerns with mail-in voting fraud earlier today, but it has failed to apply a similar standard to repeated falsehoods by elected Democrats, the mainstream media, and Joe Biden.

“Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices,” he wrote. “We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.”

The Twitter official responsible for the platform’s fact-checking policy has tweeted that members of the Trump administration are “Nazis,” among other false and inflammatory statements on the platform.

On Tuesday’s “CNN Tonight,” host Don Lemon stated that Twitter is “letting the president use their platform to drag us all right into the mud, letting him get away with it” by not removing his tweets about MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and reacted to Twitter labeling other Trump tweets as misleading by stating, “Make the label bigger, please.”

Twitter’s new fact-checking policy evidently does not extend to Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), whose claims about Russian “collusion” with President Donald Trump remain unaltered, a year after they were disproven.
