Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey (AP)Twitter Inc has disabled US President Donald Trump’s campaign tribute video to George Floyd on its platform, citing a copyright complaint. Twitter said the video on the President’s campaign account was affected by its copyright policy. (AP)Ken Farnaso, Trump campaign’s deputy press secretary, said it was “unsurprisingly sad” that Twitter had joined the mainstream media in censoring the President’s message. The Washington-based Center for Democracy & Technology said in its lawsuit that Trump’s executive order violates the First Amendment rights of social media companies. The lawsuit argues that Trump’s executive order will “chill future online speech by other speakers” and reduce the ability of Americans to speak freely online.
