QUESTION: Why is Twitter allowing Trumps Text Book Racist Tweets to stay up ?!

[uponit7771]

At some point Twitter has to be honest with itself and be either partisan or segment its posting just for government under government rules.

Benedict Donald Trumps racism is disgusting and is permissive to the hurting of Americans, twitter shouldn't enable him

Here's Twitters hateful conduct TOS

Repeated and/or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone

We prohibit targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.

We also prohibit the dehumanization of a group of people based on their religion

1. Why would it need to be taken down?

Is racism banned on Twitter?

3. Because Trump's twitters are making Twitter a ton of money.

9. ah ... got it

4. He's got Twitter in a Catch-22.

If they take the tweets down, it will give him more ammo to rage against them (and us) which further inflames.

I think a better solution is to label them with a racist warning.

6. Belongs in Twitmo

That is where bad twitter users end up, TWITMO!

7. Probably because the Twitter CEO is a Republican.

8. Those tweets should stay up and visible.

We don't want to hide Trump's racism. We want to make it as public as possible.

Read the responses to his tweets. He's being damned for what he said. That's terrific!

10. Because Jack Twitter is a coward.
