Trump links tech giants to ‘Radical Left Democrats’
President Trump on Tuesday accused the country’s leading tech companies — Facebook, Google and Twitter — of being “on the side of the Radical Left Democrats.”
“Facebook, Google and Twitter, not to mention the Corrupt Media, are sooo on the side of the Radical Left Democrats,” the president tweeted. “But fear not, we will win anyway, just like we did before! #MAGA.”
The three companies declined to respond to the tweet.
Trump and other top conservatives in recent years have argued that tech companies favor liberals and are biased against conservatives. Firms like Facebook, Google and Twitter have denied that their products or employees are biased against any political ideology.
And more: Later on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he would be looking into a report that his social media director was recently blocked by Facebook.
A Facebook spokesperson told The Hill on Tuesday: “In order to stop automated bots, we cap the amount of identical, repetitive activity coming from one account in a short period of time, such as @mentioning people. These limits can have the unintended consequence of temporarily preventing real people like Dan Scavino from engaging in such activity, but lift in an hour or two, which is what happened in this case.”
“We’ve been in touch with him and have apologized for the inconvenience,” the spokesperson added.
