Trump says he won't allow social media companies to censor conservatives

President Trump said Saturday his administration will fight efforts by social-media companies to silence conservatives, saying he won’t allow censorship.

“Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others.”

In recent weeks, conservative Alex Jones of Infowars has been banned by YouTube, Apple, Facebook and Spotify over concerns about his content. Twitter suspended his account for a one-week “timeout.”

Mr. Trump didn’t mention Mr. Jones specifically but said censorship “is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police.”

“If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed,” the president tweeted. “I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all.”
