Twitter hides Trump tweet for 'glorifying violence'

- Twitter hid a tweet from President Donald Trump on Friday, accusing him of breaking its rules by “glorifying violence” in a message that said looters at protests in Minneapolis would be shot.

It came just hours after Trump signed an executive order threatening Silicon Valley social media firms with new regulations over free speech. A Twitter spokeswoman said CEO Jack Dorsey had been informed of the decision to tag Trump’s tweet before the label was applied. Protesters there vented rage over another police killing, of Breonna Taylor, a black woman fatally shot during a raid in her apartment in March. Louisville’s mayor has asked the FBI to review a police investigation into her death.In a thread, Twitter said it had taken its action over the Trump tweet “in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts”.

The proposed legislation is part of an executive order Trump signed on Thursday afternoon. Trump had attacked Twitter for tagging tweets of his this week about unsubstantiated claims of fraud in mail-in voting. Twitter added a warning prompting readers to fact-check the posts.

classic case of shooting the messenger, won't solve the larger problem sitting in the 'seat'!!

Trump’s American’s

Morrissey_MyE a very slippery slope this... what a damn mess...

Trump is advocating the shooting of his fellow Americans. I don’t understand why he continues to be president. Why is it okay for a President to advocate his citizens death? Please someone explain!

Trump always escalates when confronted. Shit's about to get weirder.

Twitter jack you are not doing enough. Trump's account should be suspended for stoking violence. We witnessed the deaths in El Paso bc of Trump. Now MN Police arrest The Press. You are a willing participant in Trump's violence & racism on America & violation of rights.

Twitter is proving they are not a platform.

All media presentations of violence in Minnesota are glorifying it

However... 🙄

Duck twitter

Twitter's highest paid employee should be Trump. No one bring them more attention. They would be nothing without him.

it's about time!

This really isn't the top story right now.

Trump needs Twitter more than Twitter needs Trump.

Impeached forever! When POTUS speaks sometimes his words are not clear and if he is reading he has a problem reading!

It's so transparent....fuel the protest fires and we'll all forget about realDonaldTrump failure handling the COVID crisis. People, don't be fooled. We need to keep DumpTrump2020 eye on the ball for another 5 mos. WE CAN DO IT!!

A small group of people at tweet co. trying to outpower the president of the united state.Absurd.

Those are given by super-obese internet trolls, who are promoting veganism, call themselves 'they' and dye their hair. They are dead-weight of society who found out in the internet nobody can see how they look. They are very much fucked'up from drugs and hours of internet surfing

Awesome So much for realDonaldTrump ‘s executive order BS fox

Search Twitter for “burn down white house” and see how many of those tweets are acceptable to Twitter from Creative Women of Color and Black Lives Matter and a gazillion others; Twitter is corrupt, misleading, and dangerous to free speech!

Who does this individual think they are? This isn’t the behaviour of a POTUS

THANK YOU TWITTER!!!

That you Twitter!!!

DeleteTrumpsTwitter

Twitter needs to be a platform open and stop their internal need to meddle on what is socially acceptable or not and especially when they target only a few.

I wish Twitter had a policy on 'glorifying stupidity.' Put a label on 99% of President* Trump's tweets.

Why stop now?

I reported this tweet fully expecting that nothing will come of it. I'm pleasantly surprised that twitter took action.

Twitler

Twitter has taken on the role of responsible adult, even parent, to at least a small part of Trump's voluminous communications. Trump wriggles.

jack is going to pay --- The Mob rules over fools like you

It didn't glorify anything. Just twitter trying to influence elections.

What an A. Hole that country has in chief!

It’s about time.

Loser !

Twitter Flags Donald Trump ‘Looting, Shooting’ Tweet As “Glorifying Violence”Twitter has hidden a tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump because the platform says “it violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence”. Users can still view the tweet by clicking… Great click bait.... You almost had me convinced that you cared. Because it is. He is the cause of the increase in hate crimes. Doesn't really help their case when it comes to political bias which Trump accused them of. Given video footage of a man being murdered is on Twitter this is pretty pathetic.

Twitter adds 'glorifying violence' warning to Trump tweetTwitter has added a warning to one of President Donald J. Trump’s tweets about protests in Minneapolis. The company says the tweet violated the platform’s rules about 'glorifying violence.' I hope this isn’t something they limit to just Trump. This won’t end well. He’s clearly talking about the looter that was shot and killed by a pawn shop owner 🙄 Per Twitter policy, Trump should already be permanently banned.
