Trump moves to censor social media

For the crime of deleting his false and misleading posts

US President Donald “inject the bleach” Trump is about to sign an executive order to shut down social media sites which warn people about his medical advice and other fake news.

“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,” Trump said in a pair of additional posts on Twitter on Wednesday.

It all kicked off when Twitter on Tuesday dared to tag Trump’s tweets about unsubstantiated claims of fraud in mail-in voting with a warning prompting readers to fact check the posts.

Trumps response claimed “conservative voices” were being censored something we can't say we have noticed.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Trump’s tweets about California’s vote-by-mail plans “may mislead people into thinking they don’t need to register to get a ballot” effectively meaning they will not get a vote if they follow his advice.
