Twitter says White House tweet violated its rules for "glorifying violence"

[fleur-de-lisa]

The White House retweeted, word for word, Dump's tweet from earlier today. Both tweets are still on Twitter, but users have to clink another link to view them. Shitler's gonna' have a stroke!

1. Twitter needs to grow an even stiffer spine and suspend his account for TOS violations

and if he does it again, ban him.

3. Precisely

Take away his toy and he will be at a disadvantage.

4. That's what we are coming to. I hope they have in their TOS that they can remove anyone's account

for any reason, that way Trump can't really do anything about it. Most companies do have something like that so that if you do start to say bad things about them they can just remove it.

You certainly do have free speech and can say anything you want but the platform for that free speech doesn't have to be provided by someone else.

2. Here is the White House tweet that was flagged:

The White House @WhiteHouse

“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!”

6. Wow! Twitter slaps the wrist. Heavens! The world stops spinning!

Yeah. Jack Dorsey lowers the boom! Or.. he waves his magic pinky to admonish Trumpy-boy, and with devastating results! Yes, siree! Nothing changes Trumpy's evil, manipulative, violence inducing behavior like the deep-down PUNISHMENT that Dorsey has lowered on his most notable money maker.

Jack is on the warpath! He's taken a good look at Trumpy-boy's racist, aggressive, attacks on Democrats and minorities and has not decided to practice what he preaches by TERMINATING TRUMPY'S Twitter account.... eh.. no... Sorry for the normal thinking... he's punishing Trumpy-boy's followers by making them use their overworked fingers and perform that extra CLICK to see how Trumpy is encouraging his white supremacist Nazi followers to buy more guns, more ammo, take to the streets, point their weapons, and "forget" to use the safety locks. Oh, that extra click! It sure does make Dorsey look morally righteous while counting his money.

But... dare we say... that Dorsey and Twitter are intentionally co-operating with Trumpy-boy to increase his followers' interest in seeing those "naughty" and inciting calls to street violence? Eh... NAH! We should never assume the worst. Should we?
