Trump attacks Twitter and calls it non-neutral
US President Donald Trump has launched an attack on the Twitter social networking site, accusing him of deleting many of his accountants.
"Twitter has removed a lot of people from my account and, most importantly, it seems to have done something to make it harder for people to join," Trump said in a tweet.
"They hampered growth so much that it became clear to everyone," he said, accusing the Web site of "not being impartial".
Twitter launched a campaign to remove fake accounts, which are not being used, to make the site "more credible," which is likely to have affected Trump's 55 million followers.
This is not the first time that the US president has attacked social networking platforms. In August he accused her of "silencing votes", calling it "extremely dangerous".
Trump said the social networking sites "fully discriminate against the votes of Republicans and conservatives," adding: "Too many votes are being left out, some good and the other bad."
"I will not mention (specific) names, but when specific people from Twitter or Facebook are deleted and the two companies take such a decision, that is really dangerous, because tomorrow could come to you," he said.
Trump made his Twitter account an essential part of his tools and a source of controversy after his arrival at the White House, using it to promote his agenda, announce his policies and attack his critics.
