The tweet"violated the Twitter rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the tweet to remain accessible."

Trump's tweet said: "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!" Twitter's policy of adding a warning to tweets that break its rules when it comes to major public figures, instead of deleting them outright, was unveiled in mid-2019. The notice means that other Twitter users can not like, reply to, or retweet Trump's post. However, a retweet is still possible with a comment attached to it.

Gramatik How this is his priority with everything going on is ridiculous.

And yet they still won’t suspend him

why doesn't Twitter restrict recurring attacks on Israel ?

That blue bird really has balls

Ultimately, we’re told, Twitter is just an Internet forum. Privately owned. It’s not an institution. If they successfully censor the president that will cross the line with millions of their customers. Seems like a strange thing for a company to do.

clem_burke What about movies?

Suddenly u r using President word...dont act like u r respecting him now...coward

We may not have Twitter for much longer...

how is it glorifying violence I would think the thousands of tweets cheering them on glorifies the violence? Has corona virsu made the world crazy?

twitter need to take a seat this is very obnoxious. They could be setting themselves up for regulation here if they're not careful. You cant be a free platform then have random subjective moderators act like the Gods of truth.

DP will be displeased.

And...

Folks, USE the 'report' function on Twitter. The more people who provide feedback into these inciting, violent, threatening, thuggish tweets, the more Twitter may start taking action, and can do so with proof that the tweets violate the standards of Twitter's community.

Good!

Finally..

this is going to make trump more popular- lol

his whole administration glorifies violence, bigotry, hatred, and racism
