Trump Lashes Out At Twitter, Google And Facebook Over 'Ridiculous' Bias
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday slammed Twitter and other technology companies.
President Trump on Tuesday again went after social media networks.
"Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!" Trump tweeted.
Trump has repeatedly accused large technology companies of "silencing millions of people" in reference to social media content moderation.
"Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can't do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!" Trump wrote on Twitter earlier this year.
In an interview with CNN months ago, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that his company has a "more left-leaning" bias though he also maintained that their policies are the same regardless of politics.
Dorsey said: "We realize that more and more people have fear of companies like ours."
"Are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? We are not. Period," Dorsey also stated. "We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior."
