President Trump said on Saturday that conservative voices were being unfairly censored on social media, hinting that he might intervene.
“Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter, saying that “censorship is a very dangerous thing.”
“Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen,” he added.
.....Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..
