President Donald Trump escalated a brewing battle with various technology companies, issuing a warning to Facebook and Twitter after blasting Google earlier in the day. "Google and Twitter and Facebook, they’re really treading on very, very troubled territory," President Trump cautioned during an event at the White House. "If you look at what is going on with Twitter and if you look at what’s going on in Facebook, they better be careful because you can’t do that to people," he added. The president did not provide specifics to clarify his remarks. “I think Google is really taking advantage of a lot of people. And I think that is a very serious thing and it is a very serious charge,” he said. President Trump also claimed that “thousands of complaints” had come to the White House about the technology companies, though it's unclear where these complaints were filed.
