President Trump slammed the major tech companies Tuesday, accusing Google, Facebook and Twitter of political bias.

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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 18, 2018



Concern about political bias surged in July, when reports surfaced that Twitter had “shadow banned” conversation pundits and politicians, though Twitter denied the allegations.

Regarding the president’s own account, Twitter denied purposefully making it more difficult for people to follow him.

“Our focus is on the health of the service, and that includes work to remove fake accounts to prevent malicious behavior. Many prominent accounts have seen follower counts drop, but the result is higher confidence that the followers they have are real, engaged people,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Washington Times.

Leaders from each of the companies came to Capitol Hill to testify in front of lawmakers this year, most recently when Google CEO Sundar Pichai came before the House Judiciary Committee last Tuesday.

Mr. Pichai denied that his company purposefully buries conservative content, as Republicans peppered him with questions about the search engine’s algorithms.
