Twitter took down a meme tweeted by President Donald Trump, in which the music video for Nickelback's hit 2005 song "Photograph" was edited to attack former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump tweeted the clip Wednesday. At the moment where singer Chad Kroeger holds up a photo frame, the image was edited to show Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and a Ukrainian gas company board member, seeming to cast doubt on assertions by Biden that he never spoke to Hunter about his business overseas.

I absolutely guarantee you that twitter has an employee whose job is to monitor everything that Trump posts as soon as he posts it.
Just where is it ever stated that a private company can’t “censor official state media”?
Nickleback’s Hoo Hoo hurt and they filed a DMCA takedown I suspect but we will see if the Twitter wankers did it on their own.
I saw it earlier and chuckled. It left a huge mark on Biden’s ass and is fair use under parody.
Forcing lefties to defend Nickelback is even better.
LOL WTF is “Official State Media?”
Too late...the vid went mega-viral...millions saw it.
LOL, true.
Are you always pulling stuff out of you a$$ or just today?
Gee, what a surprise.
The Courts have said nothing about Twitter being forced to post content for the President. The First Amendment limits the power of government, not corporations or private individuals. Twitter can do whatever it wants. In this case, Twitter responded to a copyright complaint.
Trump retweeted so source is not government.
share to twitter and facebook
To the Reuters guy who was so concerned about how Biden was being investigated:
BIDEN WAS VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HE WAS VIDEOD BRAGGING ABOUT A POLITICAL INCIDENT THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN WHICH INCLUDED A. LOT. OF. MONEY. GOING TO HIS SON,
QUESTION IS: WHY ARE YOU, AS A REPORTER, INTERESTED IN WHAT WAS GOING ON?????????
Bull.
Of course, I meant....why NOT INTERESTED....
Gotta love how the leftist trolls come out in force to defend Twitter
Parody is not a violation of copyright.
Sure - Twitter can ban Trump whenever they want which will promptly kill Twitter (let alone set them up for civil rights violations) - but while the President is there, while the President is posting, the Supreme Court has declared that official government communications
Internet censorship is NOT a partisan issue.
Liberals who cheer it today risk becoming its victims tomorrow.
