US news.

On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted that Twitter is interfering with the upcoming elections after the company added warnings to a couple of his tweets about mail-in ballots voting.

“They are saying my statement on mail-in ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by fake news CNN and the Amazon Washington Post,” he said. “Twitter is completely stifling free speech, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen. 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.”

Twitter had attached a warning that reads “Get the fact about mail-in ballots” to Trump’s tweets and sends to sources that the President considers “fake news.”
