GOP/SOCIAL MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump tweeted Friday [5-3-19] that his administration is ‘looking into’ the banning of right-wing media personalities from prominent social media platforms — after a purge by Facebook of accounts belonging to several incendiary political figures. The president lamented the apparent suspension of actor and Trump supporter James Woods’ Twitter account, as well as the shuttering of Infowars contributor Paul Joseph Watson’s Facebook profile this week. He continued tweeting on the subject Saturday morning…Infowars chief Alex Jones, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos and activist Laura Loomer were among those booted Thursday [5-2-19] from Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram. Trump and Republican members of Congress have long railed against Silicon Valley for what they claim is a bias at the world’s largest tech firms and social media networks against conservative viewpoints.”
