Trump says 'Twitter is out of control' after several tweets flagged for 'disputed content'

The United States President Donald Trump on Friday, November 6 slammed Twitter for flagging one of his tweets, accusing the micro-blogging platform of being "out of control". Twitter put a 'disputed fact' label on Donald Trump's tweet, where the president claimed victory with "legal votes cast". Trump claimed that the observers were not allowed to do their job, adding the ballots accepted during this period must be determined to be illegal votes.

Twitter flagged the post with a message that read, "Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process." Twitter also added a link to Trump's tweet that redirects to the company's "Civic integrity policy" page. Trump then posted another tweet slamming Twitter, adding that their out of control behaviour have been made possible through Section 230, referring to a piece of internet legislation that provides immunity to publishers from third-party content.

Biden is currently leading in Georgia, a state which offers 16 electoral votes, more than enough to make the Democratic leader the 46th president of the United States.
