President Donald Trump said that it’s a “very dangerous thing” for social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to ban certain users’ accounts, since “that could be you tomorrow,” according to a Monday Reuters report.

He had tweeted similar criticism after platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter took action against Infowars’ Alex Jones, saying that certain companies were “totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices.”

Per Reuter, Trump appeared as a guest on Infowars in December 2015.
