Has It Gone Too Far?

     Trump recently revealed on a Fox News interview his opinion that Twitter has been censoring him. It is no secret that President Trump has quite the social media presence, much more than any president in the past. However, he states that his pattern of gaining followers has suddenly diminished, leading him to believe that Twitter is behind it. The article argues that Trump’s “complaining may also reflect his unease about recent reports that his posts are generating less and less interaction.” Yes, this statement could be true. However, it could also be false. While the credibility of Trump’s accusation is undetermined, the possibility of it being true is deeply concerning. Fake news is one thing, but censoring people based on opposing political views is a step too far.
