Trump just now: "Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people." Millions???

Don't recall him using that wording before.

Guessing this is aimed at social media purging bots.

Link to tweet

Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!

But Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc are indeed taking down accounts of people who aren't who they say they are... like Russian bots and racists who spread hate and fear. As is their right. And it's all spelled out in their terms of service. If you don't agree with it, you are free to use another service or build your own. But please stop whining, it's pathetic.

On edit: this is what really has Trump in conniptions this morning.... https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-interference-tech-giants-gather-for-secret-meeting-on-protecting-midterms

which covered the so-called censorship extensively, with a guest and his lawyer.

A few minutes later, with no collaboration or thought, Trump strikes!

What a fish!

Strange, . . . I got the entire clip of the show earlier, but now it seems like the segment has disappeared. It as at 18:10-22:00 of the clip. The man interviewed was Jason Fyk, a Facebook superstar, and his lawyer, Sean Callagy.

The later Diamond and Silk segment mentions the segment at the very beginning:
