Trump has found a new favorite activity. He is now suing all social media sites which tells us that he was serious about signing the executive orders. He wants all the sites to follow his lead so he is allowed to say whatever he wants without facing any consequences or being flagged for hate speech or inappropriate comments.

Facebook’s advertising archive says that the president's Facebook page is running advertisements against Twitter and Snapchat for “silencing him”.

 

The ads started on June 17th but surprisingly, they disappeared on the same day. However, one thing that stands out is the fact that the only site missing from such a mass hate campaign is Facebook. Surpassing? Not really.

 

Even though the rivalry between social media and Trump goes away, it has recently sparked after Twitter flagged his comments which said, “When the looting starts, the shooting stars” against the protestors of Black Lives Matter movement. Jack Dorsey had enough spine to stand against the President but Zuckerberg adopted his previous strategy saying that everyone has the right to freedom of speech even though he feels “disgusted” by the comments.

Snapchat also said that it would remove all the content produced by Trump from its Discover action. So this is why both these platforms are receiving backlash while Facebook is watching from the sidelines because the company loves to pick the side of the oppressor, no matter what the situation is.

 

“Snapchat is interfering in the 2020 Election by attempting to SILENCE your President,” the ads read. However, it is not clear as to why these comments against the social platforms have been deleted all of a sudden. Stay tuned to find out.
