May 27, 2020Unprecedented move for Twitter: for the first time in its history, it has done fact-checking on the chirps of the American president, judging Donald Trump's statements "unfounded". Immediate reaction of the tycoon against his favorite social platform. Twitter "interferes in the 2020 presidential election," he thundered, "suppresses freedom of expression and I as president will not allow that to happen."

Trump on Twitter threatens to shut down social media
"Republicans feel Donald Trump tweets that social media platforms completely silence the voices of conservatives. We will either make regulations or close them, because we cannot allow this to happen. We have seen what they have tried to do, and failed in 2016. We can't allow that to happen again, in a more sophisticated way. Just like we can't allow elections in the mail to take root in the country. "

Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can't let a more sophisticated version of that ....

Shortly before, the director of Trump's re-election campaign, Brad Parscale, had accused the social media and all of Silicon Valley of partisanship. "There is NO WAY (ZERO!)

There is NO WAY (ZERO!) That Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone .....

Less than six months after Election Day, Twitter had announced on May 11 that it would alert against possible misinformation, preventing the use of its platform to "manipulate or interfere in elections or other civic processes. " Under the Trump tweet, therefore, the alert exclamation point appeared that referred to the verification of the information. "Trump made unfounded statements claiming that voting in the mail will result in voter fraud" or "distorted elections", was the conclusion of the social media that compared the commander-in-chief's statements with what was reported by some press sources and in particular by CNN and Washington Post, or two of the most detested newspapers by the American president.
