Rosanne Barr is just the latest person to end up in big trouble on Twitter. So what is it about Twitter that gives some people the feeling of freedom to be able to say whatever they want?

The ABC network canceled the rebooted sitcom "Roseanne" after the star, Roseanne Barr, tweeted a racist comment about a former Obama aide.

In January, a Staten Island teen's tweet went viral. And on Friday, her dream came true. Dressed in her blue and orange prom dress Callie Quinn got to take her pre-prom photos at Citi Field with a few players.

Entertainer and entrepreneur Kanye West's tweets are raising some eyebrows after he voiced his support for President Donald Trump and even called him his "brother." "You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him," West tweeted. "We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone."

Some 10 weeks into the job, New York City Transit President Andy Byford Took to Twitter to communicate directly with his customers. Some tough New Yorkers called it a public relations stunt but others took advantage and got answers directly from the man in charge. Byford hosted the Twitter session on a rough morning where the list disrupted lines read like the alphabet: the A, C, E, D, L, N, R, M, F, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 lines and the Rockaway Park shuttle all had major problems. But that didn't stop him from his Twitter session.

Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza is the judicial affairs editor for Daily Kos in Washington, D.C. Philip Cohen is a sociologist at the University Of Maryland. Their paths came together when President Donald Trump took the time to block them from his Twitter account because he didn't like what they were saying. Now they're plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the president to defend the First Amendment.

A federal judge in Brooklyn heard arguments for a preliminary injunction to block President Donald Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA. U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis accused the president of making vicious anti-immigrant statements.

President Trump launched his latest and perhaps boldest offensive against North Korea via Twitter on Tuesday. He claimed his "nuclear button" is bigger and more powerful than Kim Jong Un's.

We can probably fill in the sentence "Social media has completely changed _____" with almost anything. Thankfully, instead of reporting on the latest trolling tactic, cyber-bullying campaign, or scam, we get to tell you how Hurricane Harvey has apparently driven us to social media to mostly help our fellow man.

Heading into a delicate month with nothing short of the daily operations of the federal government at stake and with a potential fiscal crisis looming, the leader of the free world is attacking the leaders in Congress. President Donald Trump wants the border wall. The commander in chief is threatening to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn't pay up, insisting taxpayers foot the bill. That is very different from the campaign promise that Mexico would pick up the tab.

President Donald Trump remains on what he calls a "working vacation" at his home on his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. The president on Monday lashed out on Twitter at Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, calling him a "phony Vietnam con artist." He tweeted "never in the U.S. has anyone lied or defrauded voters" like Blumenthal.

President Donald Trump complained on social media about the wide-ranging investigation of Russian interference in the U.S. election as Robert Mueller appeared to widen his probe to include whether Trump tried to obstruct justice.

Following Saturday's attack in London, Facebook is promising to do more to keep terrorists off its network. But stopping extremists from spreading their message of hate across the web is so difficult because it requires vigilance and cooperation from law enforcement, internet users, and most importantly social media companies, experts told Fox 5. While Facebook and others say they already work to combat online extremism, some critics said that is not nearly enough.

President Donald Trump's tweet overnight has the Internet asking what's "Covfefe?" At 12:06 A.M. Wednesday, Trump tweeted: "Despite the constant negative press covfefe."

Between President Donald Trump's official and personal Twitter accounts he has tens of millions of followers. But a new audit finds a lot of the accounts seem to be bots with no real people behind them. That report has some critics accusing the president of buying followers. The president isn't the only high-profile account with questionable followers.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie worked the boardwalk in Seaside Heights Friday to kick off the summer season. Fox 5 had the chance to sit down with him one-on-one to talk about President Trump. Christie still advises the president. They speak about once a week or every 10 days or so. The governor said the best thing Trump has done so far is appointing Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.

It appears the effort to place a blackout on information at some government agencies is backfiring. It is unclear who is behind these rogue Twitter accounts, but it is clear a lot of people are interested in what they have to say.
