    A renowned company like Twitter should check the facts. They have the right to check. It cannot be equated as attack on freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the right to express the opinion but the media presenting those facts must check whether it is true or not. It comes from none other than Donald Trump.

    No.  How is it an attack on his freedom of speech when they still let him say whatever he wants to say?

    Of course it is because they aren't fact checking what any of the democrats say.

    No. Being allowed to use Twitter is freedom of speech. Violating Twitter's rules of use is not. Fact checking the mountains of horse poop he tweets may be an industry unto itself.

    No. It's long overdue.  Right-wingers struggle with the concept that all rights come with responsibilities.  Meanwhile, how's Melania's "Be Best" anti-bullying campaign coming along?

    Oh ye of little knowledge. The first amendment prohibits the government from stifling your rights not privately owned companies

    I like how anytime liberal idiots deem something, you consider that fact checking.  You're the kind of idiot who thinks hillary saying "I did NOT lie I merely short circuited", is fact checking...lol idiot
