Twitter hid US president Donald Trump’s tweet as it is violating the rules about glorifying violence. Twitter flagged the tweet and gave access to the tweet with a “view” option for the particular tweet of Trump.
The access for the tweet is up with warning from twitter that menstions “Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
Trump posted a tweet about the protests against the black man’s death in the Us city Minneapolis in police custody. Following George Floyd’s death, many protesters came out with aggression in justice for the black man.
After learning the aggression of protesters, Mr.Trump tweeted saying “send in the National Guard” and he also added “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”.
Twitter issued the norm of hiding the tweets which are pointing against the major public figures and it is applicable from mid 2019. But this was never used before on Trump. Even now, the tweet is not permanently deleted or stopped from viewing. The move of twitter is just, the other twitter users cannot like, comment or retweet Trump’s tweet.
Post twitter hiding the previous tweet, Trump came back with the tweets in voice of asking twitter about the other “lies and fraudulent statements made by”.
“The President has been targeted by Twitter.” @MariaBartiromo What about all of the lies and fraudulent statements made by Adam Schiff, and so many others, on the Russian Witch Hunt Plus, Plus, Plus? What about China’s propaganda? WHO’s mistakes? No flags? @foxandfriends
