Big tech and the corrupt media 'is against me': Trump

US President Donald Trump has told his supporters in Nevada that big tech and "their allies in the mainstream media" are trying to censor and downplay conservative voices.

President Trump's comments come after Facebook and Twitter were heavily criticised last week after they censored a NY Post article that reported emails showing Hunter Biden allegedly helped set up a meeting between his father and an adviser to a Ukrainian energy company.

The social media giants advised they are limiting the distribution of the story on their platforms until a third party contractor can "fact check" the article.

Twitter subsequently apologised for its actions regarding censoring the NY Post story on its platforms.

The tech giant's decision to censor the story has prompted calls for the repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields online platforms from being held liable for what their users publish on their platforms.

Section 230 also contains a provision that leaves it entirely in the hands of social media companies to take down content it deems to be offensive or deceptive.

President Trump told a rally in Nevada.

"I am running against a leftwing media, big tech giants and a corrupt political class a corrupt political party in the Democrats.

"But they went after the wrong president.

"Any other president has not been able to withstand it...these people are evil.

"Where is Hunter (Biden)? But Joe is far more corrupt than Hunter he is getting a piece of everything.

"All we are hearing is 'we can't talk about this thing'...can you imagine if Donald Trump Junior's laptop, or Eric Trump, these are good kids, but they have been brutalised by these maniacs."
