Trump attacks Twitter and Snapchat on Facebook

Never before in recent months has an election campaign for the US Presidential elections gone through the bulletin boards and social network feeds. It is in part the consequence of the health crisis that is preventing or at least reducing the usual tour of face-to-face meetings between candidates for the White House and American citizens. And between the parties there is a clash that involves the platforms themselves as well as the political exponents: this is what has been happening between Donald Trump and Twitter, for some time now at loggerheads.

The US Presidential and the social networks network

Among the advertisements financed by the tycoon (or whoever for him) on Facebook, some directly target Jack Dorsey's social network with messages such as "Twitter is interfering with the 2020 elections by attempting to SILENCE the President". A completely similar treatment is that reserved for Snapchat, also accused of having put in place a real plot to encourage a rotation in the Oval Office. With all due respect to the electoral programs, as often happens, finished in the second, third, fourth floors.

Speaking of elections and interference, it can only come back to mind what happened four years ago, when in view of the call to the polls, some foreign countries have fielded a real hidden campaign to influence American public opinion by intervening with post, advertising and targeted sharing.

for his part, democratic candidate Joe Biden (among the victims of the recent attack on Twitter ), instead, took aim at Facebook by launching the hashtag #MoveFastFixIt to ask the platform of Zuckerberg's intervention in a timely manner in order to protect users from the distortions of misinformation. It is not difficult to predict that the tone will become gradually more incandescent here at the meeting of November 3, which is now less than 100 days.
