President Donald Trump is slamming Twitter again for doing nothing about the “lies and propaganda”  by China or the Democrats.

His comments came in a Friday morning tweet.

Trump wrote: “Twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies & propaganda being put out by China or the Radical Left Democrat Party. They have targeted Republicans, Conservatives & the President of the United States. Section 230 should be revoked by Congress. Until then, it will be regulated!”

Trump had signed an executive order on Thursday targeting legal protections for social media firms. The order calls for new provisions to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which gives social media platforms such as Twitter legal immunity from content that is posted by third-party users.

His action came after Twitter put fact check labels on two of his tweets regarding mail-in ballots.

Meanwhile, Trump’s latest tweet made no mention of the fact that another tweet was also flagged after Twitter said the presidential post violated the platform’s rules about “glorifying violence.”

That flagged tweet had referenced the violent protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Trump had noted: “Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
