Twitter Removes ‘Like,’ ‘Reply’ and Retweet Count Functions From Multiple Trump Tweets About the Election
GP ^ | December 12, 2020 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Twitter disabled “liking” and replying to multiple tweets from President Donald Trump about the election on Saturday morning.

The platform also removed the retweet count, so that people cannot see how many times it has been shared.

Twitter is neutralizing President Trump getting his message out to the American people as I type this.

Trump needs to leave Twitter and take his millions of followers with him.

But some moronic supposed Trump supporters want him and us to give up.

Why is Trump still on Twitter?

The more you tighten your grip, Twitter, the more Americans will slip through your fingers.

Yep, if you post anything conservative, you’ll get the “are you a bot” prompt followed by being unable to directly retweet without going through a second screen.

Stop using Twitter and Facebook.

That’s their only power.

Twitter is run by sick, unAmerican children. No one should use it.

They’ll be kicking him off I’d guess a little over one month from now. Twitter will not allow Trump to use its platform much longer.

I do not see any changes to Trump’s account. Not sure what they think they are seeing as I can retweet, like, and all just fine.

Why doesn't Trump leave Twitter for Parler? Or stay at Twitter for a while, if he feels he must, but also move to Parler? He'd take tens of millions of accounts with him.

Where? French Parler is not a solution. Right now we don’t have much options. And Section 230, if Trump were to succeed in removing it, would it make a difference?

I don't know why all this attention is going to Parler. Gab has been under attack from day one so that is a good sign it is the one you want. It also has a neat feature called Dissenter. It lets you comment on any web page by linking the comments to a particular web page. Of course Free Republic is also a Social Site which has the advantage of a host who weeds out the socialists

After 'Net Neutrality' kicks in it is only a matter of time until widespread censorship shuts down most of the dissent on the Internet.

There are untold numbers of Twitter bots coded in AI by CCP sponsored software groups. There are reports published about these groups from a few years back. After watching them populate message boards, one is able to spot them. They never respond to challenges or arguments.

Bottom line, I look past most such comments and will only stop on occasion to respond to a real person that appears misinformed.

"Stop using Twitter and Facebook."

Never joined any of them. Decided to join Parler in June, just to see what it was like, and frankly, I don't understand what people see in these social media sites.

Twitter says it ‘inadvertently’ blocked users from liking and replying to some of Trump’s tweets about the election that they say violated its rules
