President Donald Trump escalated an attack on social-media giants on Wednesday, threatening to “close them down” a day after Twitter Inc. marked his tweets with a fact-check warning label for the first time.
Using his own Twitter TWTR, -2.69% account, Trump said: “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.”
