United States President Donald Trump has threatened to shut down social media after Twitter put a fact-check label on his tweets.
He said social media was silencing the voices of conservatives, and that the platforms will be regulated or closed down before they totally silence conservatives.

”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,” he tweeted.
”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!!!!”
