Trump: "I would do that, yeah. I would look at that" (regulating Social Media companies)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he would consider working with Democrats to regulate social media companies, after he and other conservatives accused companies such as Twitter Inc, Facebook Inc and Alphabet Incs Google of allegedly stifling right wing views.
In an extended news conference on Wednesday, Trump, however, urged caution in any effort to regulate the social media and technology companies. He did not spell out any specific rules that he would advocate.
Believe it or not, Im one that really likes free speech. A lot of people dont understand that, but I am a big believer. And when you start regulating, a lot of bad things can happen, Trump added.
Asked whether he would consider working with Democrats to regulate social media companies, Trump said, I would do that, yeah. I would look at that.
