Donald Trump has escalated a row with social media companies after Twitter fact checked his tweets (Picture: Reuters) Donald Trump will sign an executive order targeting social media firms with more regulation after Twitter added fact-check links to his tweets. White House officials said he would be singing the order on Thursday but gave no further information on what is expected in it. The Washington Post reported it will order federal regulators to review Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides online platforms with vital protection from liability for content posted by their users. Such changes could expose tech companies to more lawsuits. Federal regulators could also be given responsibility for investigating complaints of political bias to determine whether tech companies’ content-moderation policies conflict with their pledges for neutrality, US media reports. It comes after the president threatened to close platforms he claims are censoring conservatives. Trump has accused social media platforms of censoring conservative voices Twitter fact-checked Donald Trump’s tweets about mail-in voting for the first time The long-running dispute between Mr Trump and social media companies flared up again on Tuesday when a post making unsubstantiated claims about fraud in mail-in voting came with a warning prompting readers to fact-check the content. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has led to a push for the November presidential election to be held via mail-in votes, with Trump repeatedly claiming such a measure would lead to widespread-fraud to his 80 million followers. Twitter tagged the tweet as ‘potentially misleading’ and linked to a page that described the claims as ‘unsubstantiated’. It sparked a furious response from the president, who tweeted: ‘Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. ‘We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!’ Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make. — jack (@jack) May 28, 2020 Twitter’s chief executive Jack Dorsey responded to the president’s outburst in a in a series of posts, saying: ‘We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally.’ Twitter has tightened its policies in recent years after coming under criticism for not doing enough to stop fake accounts and misinformation spreading. Mr Trump wrote a similar post on Facebook post about mail-in ballots on Tuesday, and no such warnings were applied. In an interview with Fox News following the White House’s announcement, CEO of Facebook Mark Zukerberg said he ‘believed strongly’ that the platform ‘shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online’.
