In this case, Twitter did not "regulate" Trump's post. They simply indicated readers should check the facts because Trump as lying.

SSG Matt Adkins - Why do you say that? He was a Trump man. Read the reports from that commission.
Bottom line: No evidence of ANY substantial voter fraud.

Regulation of political speech by the Government is unconstitutional, period. Does not matter if it happens on social media, the street corner, or anywhere else.
