In May 2020, Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey came under heavy criticism for the company's recent decision to begin inserting "fact-checking" links into the tweets made by President Trump after Trump tweeted about recent concerns over the intent by the Democrat Party to commit [[voter fraud]] at the federal, state and local levels during the [[2020 Presidential election]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/leave-our-employees-out-of-this-twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-responds-to-trump-broadside 'Leave our employees out of this': Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responds to Trump broadside] at the Washington Examiner</ref>  The "fact-checking" links in question lead to an "information" page containing links from liberal media outlets such as [[CNN]], [[MSNBC]], the ''[[New York Times]]'' and the ''[[Washington Post]]'', all of which indulge in publishing factually-devoid [[fake news]] hit pieces and opinion pieces masquerading as "news" to fit their anti-Trump narratives.<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/twitter-slaps-fact-checking-alert-to-trump-tweets Twitter slaps fact-checking alert on Trump tweets] at the Washington Examiner</ref>  This decision also had the inadvertent outcome of embarrassing Twitter employee Yoel Roth, who was outed as having falsely accused Trump officials, including Presidential counselor [[Kellyanne Conway]], of being "Nazis" in past tweets he posted.<ref>[https://www.wnd.com/2020/05/twitters-chief-fact-checker-called-trump-officials-nazis/ Twitter's chief "fact-checker" called Trump officials "Nazis"] at WorldNetDaily</ref>  Trump responded to Twitter's tampering with his tweets by announcing that he may place Twitter and similar social media companies under heavy regulation or shut them down altogether to punish them for their extreme liberal bias and illegal censorship (in violation of the [[First Amendment]]) of conservative speech and thought.<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/close-them-down-trump-threatens-to-regulate-or-shutter-social-media-platforms-after-twitter-fact-check 'Close them down': Trump threatens to regulate or shutter social media platforms after Twitter fact-check] at the Washington Examiner</ref>
