Twitter Slaps Warning on Trump Tweets, Doesn’t Disclose Partnership with Groups Pushing Mail-in Ballots
Breitbart ^ | September 04 2020 | JOSHUA KLEIN

Twitter slapped warning labels on several of President Trump’s tweets on Thursday after the tweets encouraged voters who submitted ballots by mail to visit their polling stations on Election Day in order to verify their vote had been counted. Twitter deemed the messages a violation of its policy against advocating illegal election activity.

Preventing users from reading the posts without first viewing a warning that the tweet “violated the Twitter rules about civic and election integrity,” the social media behemoth conveniently neglected to disclose its partnership with two groups financed by leftist donors deeply involved in voter participation efforts, including drives pushing mail-in balloting.

In light of concerns that use of mail-in voting without voter identification would allow for rampant fraud, Trump’s tweets encouraged voters who submitted ballots by mail to verify their vote had indeed been counted.

facebook, google, twitter needs to be targeted in the next 4 and broken up into tiny pieces. We need to keep the senate and win the house and the next 4 will be crushing for them

”a violation of its policy against advocating illegal election activity”

I thought they said election fraud does not exist.

This is a campaign contribution worth millions to the Democrats. As such, it is also illegal.

Using the government to enforce truth-telling is pure insanity.

If we authorize the government to serve as the arbiter of what is true and what is false, who will judge the government?

If we are to be a free, self-governing Republic, the people must be the sole judge of what is true.

The problem here is not with Google, Twitter or the fake news. Let them lie and censor all they want.

What matters is what the American people believe.

If they can be convinced of a lie, can they not also be convinced of the truth?

If giant media networks can gain the faith and trust of the American people by being trustworthy, can’t they also lose it by being liars?

I think that is what President Trump is doing; he is showing the American people that they are being lied to - it is the American people who need to reject misinformation and censorship, not AG William Barr.
