Donald Trump repeats claims he is being unfairly targeted by social media sites

The US president continued his attacks on platforms such as Twitter on Friday.

Donald Trump has again accused Twitter of targeting him and his supporters as he continued his attacks on social media platforms.

The US president said on Friday that legal protections which allow social media sites to remove content they deem inappropriate was akin to censorship and should be revoked by Congress.

It comes after Mr Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at starting such a process, and in response to several of his tweets being sanctioned by Twitter.

The order is expected to face legal challenges and has been labelled largely symbolic by commentators.
