“Your work is saving lives and helping children,' Melania Trump said of Twitter, Facebook, Google and other organizations.
First lady Melania Trump thanked Twitter, Facebook and Google for their partnerships during the one-year anniversary celebration of her “Be Best” initiative helping children on Tuesday. At the same time, first son Donald Trump Jr. continued a barrage of tweets slamming the three social media giants for apparent “political discrimination” and"censorship campaign” efforts.
The first lady said there were “so many organizations” that worked alongside her office in the year since she launched her initiative. She reiterated the reason she chose to focus on Be Best, which was a concern that today’s fast-paced world “can make children less prepared to express or manage their emotions, causing them to turn to forms of destructive actions such as bullying, unhealthy habits, risky online behavior, drug abuse and addiction, or even suicide.”
Shortly after the first lady’s event, Trump Jr. quote tweeted a post that referenced Twitter banning a parody account of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And the day prior, he complained about Twitter shutting down conservative accounts while leaving the accounts of the militant Islamic group Hamas active.
