Trump was not censored. You're the second or third person to say that, and it's a lie. So there's that.

They can weigh in on anything on their platform. It's their platform.

Twitter has publishing rights to the president's tweets, because again, it's their platform.

And I find it stupendously bad that you are holding Twitter to a higher standard than the president.


Fact-checks are now a mainstream tool for media companies to censor "unacceptable" viewpoints. Trump is not being censored here in a literal sense, he's just having his messages hijacked by a platform seeking to interject additional spin.

Debatable, because they are protected legally specifically because they are neutral platform providers, and not publishers. They are now acting as publishers, which raises the question of whether they are or should be protected from lawsuits at all.

We should hold Trump accountable for his language, judgement, and temperament; thankfully we have a constitutionally protected means of doing so. We should hold Twitter accountable for taking sides in a political debate on what they purport to be a neutral forum, a definition from which they accrue significant legal benefits.

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

How dense do you have to be to threaten censorship in response to not liking censorship. Oh wait be an idiot that supports it.
While threatening do react before they do anything, as he is reacting to what they do..
the logic is even hard to decipher.

Does the DMCA require them to be a neutral platform to get legal benefit? Or just a host?
If Trump doesn't like it he can move to facebook to spew his obvious falsehoods.

Its not censorship, its antitrust legislation at work. Evil monopolies deserve the sword of Damocles.
