For more than a decade President Donald Trump has been disseminating lies and abuse on Twitter.
He claimed in 2012 that the Chinese ‘created the concept of global warming’. He asserted in 2017 that in the previous year’s presidential election he had won more votes than Hillary Clinton, though he actually received three million fewer.
Trump has consistently fabricated untruths about his predecessor, Barack Obama, stoking the falsehood that the first African-American President was born abroad, and accusing him of having wire-tapped Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
For years, as these fantasies spewed out, Twitter was happy to provide a platform for Trump.
