The Republican presidential candidate said, if elected, she will force social media companies to 'show America their algorithm.'
Nikki Haley vows to abolish anonymous social media accounts: 'It's a national security threat'::WPDE covers news, sports, weather, and local events in and around the Grand Strand, Pee Dee, and the Border Belt.
