Twitter is ‘interfering’ in US election, ‘stifling’ free speech, alleges Trump

US President Donald Trump has alleged that Twitter is “interfering” in the US election and “completely stifling” free speech, after the social media network placed a fact-checking warning on one of his tweets for the first time.

On Tuesday, Twitter added a warning phrase to Trump’s tweet that called mail-in ballots “fraudulent” and predicted that “mail boxes will be robbed,”.

“Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. 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….,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday.

“Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!” he said in another tweet.
