11 crushing takedowns of the Winklevoss twin who said fact checking is censorship

It is a backlash to Twitter adding a fact check warning to two of his tweets which made outrageous and blatantly false claims about postal votes.

This was Twitter’s reaction.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, however, told CNBC

“I don’t think that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth,”

His former Facebook collaborator, Cameron Winklevoss – we’ve all seen The Social Network, right? – was on much the same page.

Twitter clapped back with no mercy, and we suspect Winklevoss would love to be able to edit these.
