Twitter Adds Warning Label to Donald Trump’s Tweet About ‘Shooting’ Protesters in Minneapolis, Saying It Glorifies Violence

early Friday applied another a warning label to one of Trump’s tweets — saying his post about unrest in Minneapolis violated its policy banning content that glorifies violence.at 12:53 a.m. ET Friday, said that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” in reference to rioters in Minneapolis who took to the streets in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a man who died Monday after a city police officer knelt on his neck.

The company continued, “We’ve taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance.”

Their policies against hate speech & incitement to violence ring more hollow than ever. He's gone from stochastic terrorism to full-on targeted hate.
