After Whining About Critical Trending Items On Twitter, Trump Threatens Executive Orders Against “Big Tech”

The Washington Post reports:



President Trump urged Congress Wednesday to take action against Big Tech companies — and said if it didn’t, he would. Trump has butted heads with social media companies in particular recently as Twitter and Facebook increasingly crack down on his posts that run up against their rules.

Twitter has so far labeled five of Trump’s tweets with warning labels, causing Trump to lash out and issue an executive order calling for the government to reconsider a law that shields Internet companies from much liability.

After facing criticism, Facebook said it, too, would label Trump’s posts that violate its policies but that it deems newsworthy enough to leave online. It has not yet used a newsworthy label on a post from Trump.
