WRONG.

Though low-IQ Donny may not understand it, Twitter is a private company. They can do whatever it is they want. As much as Trump and his lemmings may think it is, Twitter is in no way shape or form a formal, official gov't outlet.

Twitter can do whatever it wants to with Trump's Twitter account, at any time it wants to do it. And Trump can't do jack squat about it.

If Trump wants to whine and complain about it, stop using Twitter.
but that is how he spends his day.

If any translation was needed, read this as he knows his chances for re-election are diminishing and this is simply a set-up for disputing the 2020 election outcome.

Yeah, that seems about right.
It sounds like a good fit for him.

Well that escalated quickly.

Trump To Sign Social Media Executive Order On Thursday After 'Fact-Check', Political Bias Exposed | Zerohedge

Quote:
There are no details of what the order will contain, however, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said 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.
For once I think we may see something substantive come from this.

Neither. "You retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. What’s yours is yours — you own your Content...

By using Twitter Trump gave them license to publish and modify his content as they see fit. Checkmate, indeed -- Twitter wins.

Yeah, blah blah blah; once you (Twitter) editorialize comments on a platform, you (Twitter) publish on your own platform.

There are major legal ramifications that this temper tantrum from the disillusioned have made come to light, as stated in the OP!

I've posted many times before that the MESS the communists LEFT us with was going to be an ugly recovery.

Here we are.

Communists? What? Are we talking about Cuba now? Or have we built a time machine and travelled back to the USSR?

It’s about time. Twitter should probably do more since Trump violates their terms of service regularly.



Good about time, Trump a known pathological liar and poses a danger to ALL!.....Being held accountable is something that Trump has avoided his entire fraudulent life. But when this is finally over, there will be an independent commission tasked with investigating and producing a full and complete accounting of the nation’s preparedness and response to the coronavirus. Trump must be held accountable for his indifference, criminal negligence, and his failure as president to properly protect and defend this country from a pandemic that has already cost more than 100 thousand American lives. We owe it to the memory of every American that needlessly died.....
