Breaking: Twitter has censored President Trump by totally removing his tweets for the first time
National File ^ | July 28 | Tom Pappert

On Monday night, as President Donald Trump began posting about the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 following a viral video of a doctor touting its ability to not only treat but prevent the disease, Twitter removed at least three of the president’s tweets, leaving no trace of what the president wrote on the social media platform.

Tensions between the big tech website and President Trump appear to have reached a new height, as the platform has now censored several posts by President Trump that appear to have promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.

The president began sharing articles and tweets promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine after a viral video of frontline doctors revealing their experiences treating COVID-19 in the field.

In place of President Trump’s tweets is a message from the platform that reads “This tweet is no longer available.”

Now who didn't see this coming?
Plenty of Freepers including me have been predicting this for months.
President Trump himself predicted that as the elections got closer, Twitter will get more crazy.
The DOJ is already preparing to take action against Twitter, but in the meantime, Trump needs to join Parler.
Twitter’s sales were already down over 20% last quarter. And profits have collapsed. They are not in a very strong financial situation.
If Trump takes away millions his followers to Parler, it will definitely hurt Twitter.

As of this moment, the second, longer video is still on YouTube. That doesn't mean it will be for long though.

Yup saw the doctors and they are far from right wingers they speak the truth... but it’s an inconvenient one for the globalists. Now they have to stick to the lie or be found murderers

That’s what I am wondering too. Ok, if the President signs up for Parler, the press will HAVE to cover it, and Twitter will just be an afterthought. Even people who dislike President Trump will start signing up for Parler if nothing else so that they can have their hate fest there instead of Twitter.

When I first heard about this, I didn’t know it was a tweet about hydroxychloroquine. That’s really hitting a nerve with someone. It’s the forbidden topic.

WHY?!

Is it because of Big pHARMa and Gates impending vaccine?

President Trump should sign up to Parler!

That is a really ignorant idea. A President of the U. S. should not be using any media that he does not control to issue statements or opinions for general release to the public.

Trying to manipulate the public through an unreliable agent can and will backfire, and is not a very wise tactic for a public servant who ought to be consistent, reliable, shows foresight, and keeps his word.

Let me guess: The issue Twitter objects to is mot about hydroxychloroquine or any laymans opinion about it. The issue is using the social media to carry out a personal vendetta against Fauci and his like-minded pals, however uncompliant their opinions may be.

If that is true, Twitter is quite right in refusing to be used as a bludgeon in the hands of a capricious national figure. Nor should any other privately-controlled media forum whose viability depends on making its own decision to remain autonomous.

SCOTUS decision in 1946 (Marsh v Alabama) said free speech couldn’t be limited in “public square” even if the public square was privately owned.

Everything in your post is nonsense. Nothing in it makes any sense.
HCQ (with Zinc and AZT) has been proved beyond any doubt to be extremely effective against coronavirus. The science and the data is incontrovertible.

"The fact that Dr.’s face retribution for prescribing this drug is simply CHILLING, what the HELL is going on in this country, we DO NOT HAVE government run healthcare!!"

With all due respect, the American healthcare system is government run in terms of regulation and most of its financing. There is only a thin veil of consumer choice. I agree with your outrage over hydroxychloroquine, but if Trump is for it, the government deep state is naturally agin it.
