Twitter at war? Trump's warning to Minnesota ‘thugs’ flagged for ‘glorifying violence’
Twitter has claimed Donald Trump violated its rules by vowing a tough response to rioting in Minnesota. The social media platform flagged the tweet, saying it “glorified violence.”
The US president tweeted that he would take action if order was not restored to Minneapolis.
“We will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Trump wrote, noting that the military could get involved.
Hours later, Twitter attached a notice to the post, stating that the tweet “violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.” The company said it would allow the message to stay up, however, because it “may be in the public’s interest.”
