Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey apologized on Wednesday night after the social media giant faced backlash over its decision to block links to a story which claims Joe Biden met with a Ukrainian businessman while he was Vice President.
It came just an hour after President Donald Trump threatened to remove the US legal protections that exempts the likes of Twitter and Facebook from liability for the material users post on their networks.
Trump called for the law, known as Section 230, to be repealed as he blasted the social media giants as 'terrible' for 'reducing circulation' of a New York Post article which published the claims about his rival Biden earlier in the day.

Me neither.
Take them down!
Twitter will collapse. It’s in serious decline.
And of course Twitter banned any links to Trump’s tax returns that the New York Times illegally obtained a few weeks ago?
They are only sorry they’ve made the story bigger than it was before the censorship.
Do it! No matter how much they apologize. The whole lot of them need to be brought to their knees. Otherwise, they'll be back to their old ways in no time. Their apologies, promises, etc., are meaningless.
I dont see an apology either.
Its CYA and nothing more.
Who needs socialist media?
Yep.
The prog NEVER learn this lesson.
.
That’s odd - neither do I.
I am with you 100%, FRiend!
Agee. I hope after the election he becomes the tyrant he never was but they accused him to be and he brings hell down upon all of them.
No apology, just doubling down. As of 8:51 twitter still was censoring the story. I tried to post it and got censored again.
James Woods was locked out too..tell me, if this story were all bogus, nothing to see here moving on, why is twitter and facebook acting like the world has literally come to an end and are soiling their diapers
Adam Housley said that MORE is coming out either tonight or tomorrow
Fine, pull the 230 anyway.
While I agree with Trump’s and many others’ reactions, I fully expect the DEMs and the MSM to react by saying that Trump wants to strict or prevent American’s free speech. The irony will be lost on them, but Americans by and large won’t see it.
***They are only sorry theyve made the story bigger than it was before the censorship.***
This is true. I dont often send my extended family news articles, but this story bothers me enough to show them. I forwarded the story as covered by The Federalist today. We conservatives have been being censored for a long, long time by the PTB in Big Tech and the MSM. Usually the NYPost sails through. Im so glad that one of their editors went public with this. Twitter and Facebook will be facing an angry wasps nest that has suddenly been stirred. The woke just got a new awakening.
