Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey apologized on Wednesday night after the social media giant faced backlash over its decision to block links to a story which claims Joe Biden met with a Ukrainian businessman while he was Vice President.
It came just an hour after President Donald Trump threatened to remove the US legal protections that exempts the likes of Twitter and Facebook from liability for the material users post on their networks.
Trump called for the law, known as Section 230, to be repealed as he blasted the social media giants as 'terrible' for 'reducing circulation' of a New York Post article which published the claims about his rival Biden earlier in the day.

DO IT MR PRESIDENT FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE!! Drive a stake in the heart of this lying POS JERK!! Do it!!!!
I am banned from twitter for calling someone a ghettopotumas.
MEANWHILE, liberals on twitter are calling for violence against Conservatives and their families and the outright execution of President Trump and they are still on there with no repercussions.
F you Dorsey. I hope burning in Hell is the least of your worries.
OMG. Is there a sex tape???!!!
Shut down Twitter and Facebook!
“...OMG. Is there a sex tape???!!!...”
We may all get to see how good a humper, the humper really is!!!!
You have to love the juxtaposition: the Senate Democrats try to slime the clean-as-a-whistle Amy Coney Barrett, saying nasty things about her all the while backing the endlessly corrupt and perverted Biden family.
If they didn’t have projection, they’d have nothing.
Too late? For someone who has Trump in his FR name, you sure are not like him.
At all.
Trump NEVER says too late.
And WHAT is too late? Did the election happen and I missed it?
It’s not too late at all, Eeyore.
Get everyone you know to get out and vote for Trump and try to be more optimistic :)
Trump never quits. Never makes it sound like it’s over.
Way too many of us (including me) make it sound like complete gloom and doom too quickly and too easily
No more!!
We are Trump Republicans!!
A new breed.
That’s a funny word :)
“More is coming out”.
With 40,000 emails, covering years of corrupt and degenerate behavior, there is probably a bombshell a day’s worth until the election - and probably a few nukes for the last week.
This incident guaranteed it for sure!!
Apologizing for lack of plausible explanation, not for blocking.
Remove all protections and make all into utilities. Google FB TWITTER INSTA UTUBE SNAPCHAT AMAZON
The apology is worthless. Kill Section 230, and watch the social media giants crumble.
Is that some kind of new sleep apnea aid? I got that bad but he looks like he has it well managed, just look how sound he is sleeping.
Uh oh...
Remove protections anyway.
Then hammer them flat.
Prosecute treason and racketeering.
The original story was bouncing around the MAGA community.
The blocking generated a backlash, driving the story to a wider diverse audience.
Thank you @Jack!
I am a little confused about what section 230 has to do with protecting us from censorship. It appears that repealing it would increase censorship since it would force forums to remove posts else they be held liable for what is in them.
For instance If I say Biden is a bad man then FR would have to remove my post or else Jim would be liable.
Yes. Repeal of section 230 would kill FreeRepublic.
