Marked

For the first time ever, Twitter has begun marking some of Donald Trump's fraudulent tweets with a fact check link (details here). They began doing so yesterday by branding two of his false, dishonest tweets about voting by mail.

Trump, of course, had a meltdown, falsely claiming Twitter was "interfering" with the election. He threatened to take action as President without clarifying what that might be. In reality, there's nothing he can do.

A lawyer needs to explain to Trump that Twitter is not a government website. Thus, marking or removing dishonest tweets is not a First Amendment violation. Twitter has a legal right to exert editorial control over their own website.

I hope Twitter continues to do this and ignores the President's bullying. It's high time Trump is called on the carpet for his incessant lying and dishonesty.
