President Trump weighed-in Wednesday on allegations of censorship against big social media platforms like Facebook and Google; saying America’s political leadership is either “afraid or stupid to do anything” about it.
“Twitter is shadow banning like never before. A disgrace that our weak and ineffective political leadership refuses to do anything about Big Tech. They’re either afraid or stupid, nobody really knows!” posted Trump on Twitter.

The President is urging Congress to change legal rules that protect social media platforms from personal liability lawsuits and other legal actions for publishing false information.
