The social media platform added a warning to his tweet encouraging violence against unarmed civilians protesting the death of George Floyd.
For the second time, Twitter flagged a message from President Trump with a warning, saying that his post-midnight tweet calling for the military to shoot protesters in Minneapolis was “glorifying violence.”
Twitter added a notice to the tweet that users had to click through in order to read it, writing, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.” The attorney’s office later issued a clarification to that comment, saying it is being misinterpreted.
