Twitter rolls out new guidelines for world leaders that could impact Trump's tweets

The new rule responds to a common criticism of Twitter while being careful to avoid allegations of political bias. Over the last few years, users have questioned why Twitter does not take down tweets from President Donald Trump that appear to violate its content policies. While the blog post does not address Trump by name, it says the new rule will apply to verified government officials, representatives or candidates for a government position who have more than 100,000 followers.

"Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate," Twitter. "It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions." In the new policy released Thursday, Twitter said that for people who fit its new criteria, it will place a notice over tweets that violate its standards but it still deems to have some public interest value. Users will have to click through the notice in order to view the original tweet. The notice will include a link to more information and say, "The Twitter Rules about abusive behavior apply to this Tweet.

So all of Trump’s tweets will have this label?

Trump will sign an executive order to sanction Twitter!

US is only free when you do what Democrats want. RIP Twitter

Twitter who do you support for President? Twitter

trump doesn t like the idea

Twitter snowflakes

Did you hear ? realDonaldTrump

Suspend Trump's accounts and watch twit go the way of MySpace and Napster. And jack knows it.

tech Great move, Jack ! 👏🏻

tech Twitter continues to look for its suicide pill. No company has looked to poison its self as much as Twitter in modern history

Translation: Twitter hopes to placate its left wing, liberal contributors by joining the constant assault on Trump. Silence anyone not tweeting the narrow, ultra liberal narrative rammed down our throats 24/7 by the predominantly left leaning media.

And the media’s... good luck

The end of twitter

Probably more of jack's censorship! POS still trying to leaves his mark!
