Twitter locked the account of @TeamTrump, an official Trump campaign account, citing the same policy it used to ban links to the New York Post’s bombshell story on hitherto unrevealed links between Joe Biden and the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma. Mike Hahn, a social media manager for Team Trump, revealed the censorship in a tweet earlier today.“Twitter has suspended TeamTrump for posting a video calling Joe Biden a liar who has been ripping off our country for years, as it relates to the @nypost article” said Hahn. He added the suspension comes “19 days out from the election.”

Republicans were warned several years ago that THIS was going to happen. The Congress and Senators needed to get on this legislatively and head it off.

"Twitter",what a fitting name for such an intellectually little dumb A$$ company !! It cannot end up in the dumpster of history soon enough. It's past time the grown-ups took control of the asylum away from the inmates.

Congress must put a FULL STOP to this crap. But far too many Congress Critters love the vast sums of money donated by these huge monopolies. Donald Trump needs to twist arms and kick butts.

Do the Twitter-crats believe so strongly that the left/socialists/dictators are going to win (no matter how, legally or not) the next election that they are fine doing this because they believe they can with impunity, or is Twitter willing to fall on their sword for the sake of the same? The latter elicits my pity, the former concerns me greatly.

Stop using these media platforms. I quit Twitter when they censored one comment. They were after me for more than a year to come back. Mass quitting will drive them crazy. QUIT !!!!

People are addicted to this social crapola like Twitter. They all think other people actually care about what they have to say. Get over yourselves. No one really cares.

How arrogant of these platforms to lock the account of the POTUS, and the Communications Director for the President. AG Barr, will you ever do your job? I am not interested in the speeches, or tv chats. Frankly, I think Barr took the job not to do the job.

Talk about killing your business model. Sure, tick off the President by locking his account. Twitter is about to become Shredded Tweet.

Have the FCC immediately suspend their license to operate. Revisit after the election. Fight fire with fire.

Never used twitless and dumped Facebook after they put me in jail 6 times for speaking out about muslims...would have been ok if I'd have bashed Trump or Christians or any real religion (islam is NOT a religion, it is a political movement) or anything conservative or moral..

Maybe Trump should order Twitter shut down until it can be investigated! We all know investigations take months and months! Two can play that game. Might also let Facebook know they're next!

The government needs to move now to shut down Twitter, Facebook and any other social media down for violating the law by censoring free speech. By controlling speech and protecting Biden, they are giving him free campaign help.

I don't believe little Dorsey got the hint about Section 230 this week. Might just have to start squeezing the plums just a little bit tighter.

Never had a Twitter account and don't plan to open one EVER and I have managed to live a full life without it just fine.
In any case, if I ever do get the urge to share all my idle musings with the world there are other platforms available to do that; platforms that don't censor ideas with which they disagree.

The Founders could not have imagined that something as powerful as the government could abridge free speech. Big Fake News (FaceBook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google) need to be; broken up and subjected to FTC and FCC regulation and oversight.

All these Marxist Communist are attempting to ban Constitutional guaranteed freedom of speech especially political free speech against their criminal traitorous endeavors. The FCC needs to immediately cancel their license to operate in America.
China does not allow any political opposing speeches and these companies fall right in line behind the Marxist Communist Chinese government. They are doing for the Marxist Communist democrats party exactly what they are doing for the Communist Chinese.

Twitter is a sewer of malicious, weird, cruel, sick, ignorant punks. The President should certainly urge a review of the amount of control over the media that these few companies have, but in the mean time promote and use better alternatives. Make twitter, google and facebook the MySpace of tomorrow and use the alternative. Do a search there are at least 8 alternatives that would love to have the President and others using them.
