TECH Twitter flags Trump tweet on Minneapolis for 'glorifying violence'
Source: CNBC
Twitter has slapped a public interest notice on a tweet from President Donald Trump, saying it violated its rules regarding the glorifying of violence.
Weve taken action in the interest of preventing others from being inspired to commit violent acts, but have kept the Tweet on Twitter because it is important that the public still be able to see the Tweet given its relevance to ongoing matters of public importance, the company said Friday morning.

(768 posts)I think Twitter is taking the best approach.
Don't delete his account or tweets. Just label them with fact checks and public warnings.
Mainly to drive Trump nuts.
Berlin Expat
(950 posts)is probably the best approach. Just keep fact-checking his tweets and flag them if necessary when he calls for violence or spews disinformation.

(225 posts)as a campaign platform. He is sullying their reputation and taking advantage of their neutrality. He is violating their terms of service. It's good to see they are starting to reject this and I hope it continues. Good on you twitter.

Replying to @TwitterComms and @realDonaldTrump
Twitter is the "Ministry of Truth" and we are living in a real life version of 1984
@hanonondricek
Except Twitter is not an arm of the government, and commented on the message instead of censoring it. The government has numerous ways to get their message to the public; Twitter has never been an official method and has terms of service.
You might want to read Orwell again.
