Olivier DOULIERY / AFPSocial media platform, Twitter, on Friday flagged US President Donald Trump’s tweet about the protests and violence in Minneapolis, Minnesota for “glorifying violence,” leading to a response from the American White House.
….These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!According to Twitter, the company flagged the tweet in what it tagged a “public interest notice.”
In response, the official White House account called Twitter’s bluff by retweeting the same post. This time, Twitter responded by saying that while it violated its rules, the company “determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.” If this was enacted, the likes of Twitter and Facebook would become open to lawsuits and greatly increased government regulation.
Hmmmm
Okay. But do you know, according to OworoTv a policeman allegedly shot a 16–year old girl dead in Iyana–Oworo area of Lagos State?!! JusticeForTina
