After being fact-checked by Twitter on his assertion that mail-in voting leads to fraud, President Donald Trump doubled down on his stance and directed his anger right at Twitter.

He then tagged Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of site integrity, as a "hater."

The tweet follows the social media platform flagging earlier posts about mail-in voting fraud from the president, with a notice directing users to the facts surrounding the practice.

After his spat with Twitter, Trump promised to "strongly regulate" or even "close down" social media sites that "silence conservative voices" through an executive order.

The White House press secretary attempted to clarify the president's position on mail-in voting — which has been floated by various Democrats as a way to conduct November's presidential election because of Covid-19 — in a Thursday interview with Fox News, where she said Trump is only against "mass" mail-in voting.

"What he's not for is mass, mail-in voting, what Nancy Pelosi is asking for, which is subject to fraud," Kayleigh McEnany said.

Trump is set to introduce an executive order on Thursday that he promises will bring "fairness" to social media platforms like Twitter.

The social media platform warned that the president's message to Democratic governor Tim Walz about sending in the National Guard "violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence."

The tweet, posted from the @WhiteHouse account, repeated the content of an earlier tweet Trump had posted from his personal account (which was also covered by the censorship message about "glorifying violence").

The White House account responded to the censorship by slamming Twitter's "biased, bad-faith 'fact-checkers'," arguing that Trump had not glorified violence but condemned it. Hinting at further enforcement to be leveled against the social media behemoth, it observed that such censorship was the act of "a publisher, not a platform" - i.e. a site that doesn't qualify for the protection from legal liability Twitter currently enjoys.

Twitter replied with a statement explaining its enforcement decision was apparently triggered by "the historical context of the last line, its connection to violence, and the risk it could inspire similar actions today." The White House tweet, the platform said, was censored because it was "identical" to the original Trump post.

Trump has threatened to take on Twitter and other social media platforms over their censorship of conservative voices, and his war on Big Tech arguably began on Thursday when he signed an executive order aimed at stripping the platforms of their Section 230 liability protection.

Some have speculated Trump's intention was to lure Twitter into making unenforceable or clearly biased content-moderation decisions - i.e., that the president had set a trap for the censor-happy platform. Its promise not to interfere with the tweets of world leaders has already fallen by the wayside.
