President Donald Trump has described the decision of social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter to ban accounts on their platforms as “very dangerous”, during an interview with Reuters. Earlier this month, the president accused social media firms of “discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices” after a number of sites removed content by the US Congress, a website run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. The social media sector is currently under growing pressure from Infowars to monitor foreign propaganda.
