WASHINGTON • President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that Twitter Inc. was biased against him and accused the social media company of deleting many of his followers and making it harder for users to follow him, without providing evidence.

It was the latest salvo by Trump against social media and technology companies such as Twitter, Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google for what he has described as "silencing" conservative views on their services.

"Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join — they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all. A few weeks ago it was a Rocket Ship, now it is a Blimp! Total Bias?" Trump tweeted.

Any reduction is likely the result of Twitter's recent moves to remove millions of suspicious accounts after it and other social media services were used in misinformation campaigns attempting to influence voters in the 2016 U.S. presidential race and other elections.
