Donald Trump has blasted the American tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google accusing them of bias towards the Democratic Party.
The US president tweeted on Tuesday “Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous!”
Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!

Press TV reports: Trump had previously complained to the three firms that they were suppressing good news related to him and other Republicans, in favor of the Democrats. He claimed the formulas and algorithms used for search by Facebook, Twitter and Google had been “rigged” against him.
