“I am continuing to monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms,” Trump tweeted on Friday, putting Facebook and other sites on notice. “This is the United States of America - and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF SPEECH!”

Trump’s warning echoed the words of his son Donald Trump Jr., who called on conservatives to “fight back” against Big Tech’s “next level” censorship in a tweet posted earlier on Friday.

President Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey last week to discuss social media censorship of conservatives. Dorsey recently admitted his employees might have been overly enthusiastic in banning some conservative users, but denies that the platform is biased.

Facebook banned Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, and a handful of other popular conservative figures - plus Louis Farrakhan - on Thursday, citing its policy on “dangerous individuals and organizations.” The platform announced it will remove even groups and events promoting content from the banned users.
