Donald Trump has been left furious after Twitter fact checked his tweets for the first time. The social media network prompted readers to check the facts in his tweets, warning his claims about mail-in ballots were false and had been debunked by fact checkers.
The blue exclamation mark notification prompted readers to "get the facts about mail-in ballots" and directed them to a page with news articles and information about the claims aggregated by Twitter staffers.
In a tweet responding to the company's move on Tuesday, Trump accused the social media giant of interfering in the 2020 presidential election. " Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!" he said.
