Trump threatens to ‘strongly regulate’ social media platforms after Twitter labels his tweets
President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to “strongly regulate” or even shut down social media platforms after Twitter applied a fact-check to two of his tweets this week.
With cities across America burning and black communities in pain, many white people have continued posting selfies and pictures of food on social media as if nothing is wrong — and it is not going unnoticed. Here’s why experts say not saying anything is actually saying a lot.

Social media is the new bodycam as protests spread across the country
Childish Gambino warned us in 2018. This is America, right?
It’s been a brutal week for anyone who doesn’t live with their eyes closed. The proof is right there on Twitter and other social platforms. It used to be that we relied on police bodycams to hold off…
Trump signs social media executive order while bragging about his follower count
Donald Trump has had it up to HERE with all these doggone rotten social media companies enabling him to reach hundreds of millions of Americans, and you’d better believe he’s going to do something about it.
On Thursday, the president signed an executive orde…
CNBC’s Julia Boorstin on Snap’s slide after it announced it would stop promoting President Trump’s account. With CNBC’s Melissa Lee and the Fast Money traders, Guy Adami, Tim Seymour, Karen Finerman and Steve Grasso.
Snap announced Wednesday it will no longer promote President Trump’s content within Snapchat’s Discover feature.
Snap shares were down more than 2% after the announcement.
“We will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover,” the company said in a statement.
“Racial violence and injustice have no place in our society and we stand together with all who seek peace, love, equality, and justice in America.”
Snap’s decision comes a week after Trump took to Twitter and Facebook to address riots in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, saying that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
“We simply cannot promote accounts in America that are linked to people who incite racial violence, whether they do so on or off our platform,” CEO Evan Spiegel said in a memo.
Trump’s exclusion from Discover, however, does not entirely remove him from Snapchat. The president’s account remains live and public, meaning users who want to follow Trump can still do so and will still see his posts.
Snap’s decision to remove Trump from Discover follows Twitter, which last week began to moderate the president by fact-checking his tweets. Twitter also flagged Trump’s tweet about looting leading to shooting, saying it breached Twitter’s policies on “glorifying violence.” In contrast, Facebook has not done anything to moderate Trump.
Trump has denied that he was intending to incite violence.
