Twitter says that Donald Trump has violated Twitter rules regarding glorification of violence.
Twitter is keeping a close eye on the President Donald Trump’s messages at the moment. Earlier today it placed a public interest notice on one of Trump’s tweets.
The President tweeted « …. 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! »
He was referring to looters in Minneapolis and property damage during a second night of violent protests over the death in police custody of George Floyd.
The Twitter Safety account stated
Twitter came under fire from the President yesterday who signed an Executive Order (EO) aimed at removing some of the legal protections given to social media platforms.
This order argues that social networks that edit posts by adding fact-checking labels to posts are to be considered ‘publishers instead of forums’ according to Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
