Twitter on Saturday briefly blocked users from interacting with the president's false tweets about the 2020 election.
Twitter on Saturday appeared to take further steps to prevent its users from interacting with tweets from President Donald Trump that shared inaccurate information about the 2020 election, briefly blocking users from liking and replying to some of his tweets before it backtracked.
Several users noted the change on the platform early Saturday, which was first applied to Trump's tweet that claimed the "people of the United States were cheated, and our Country is disgraced" following the Supreme Court's latest refusal on Friday to hear a longshot bid to overturn the results.
When users attempted to like or reply to the tweets, they were instead met with a messaging explaining why Twitter had disabled the features.
"We try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we've disabled most of the ways to engage with it," the label said.
But hours after, just before 10 a.m., with no public statement from Twitter, it appeared to have changed course, allowing users to like the tweets after first presenting a large warning that the contents of the post were disputed.

I don’t know what I despise more. The original action or the flat out lie that it was a mistake.
Inadvertently.
Yeah, right.
How come this never “inadvertently” happens to the twitter accounts of democrat politicians?
ShiTTer is afraid of retribution against their crony tactics.
Shut the people up.
Billion dollar despots.
I don’t know why they did that, President Trump is the one who’s generating a lot of revenues for Twitter.
From the “It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission” file.
Funny how this “inadvertent” s*** always goes one way.
L
Be smart, dump Twitter !!
Is that Dorsey’s company? How many times is he going to say that and expect people to believe him? He belongs in Congress where they lie better than that! He has lied to the committee members under oath without any penalty whatsoever. Why would they bother asking him any questions when they know he’s going to lie and say “it was a mistake and we’ve corrected it.”
The demonic f*cks are still doing it.
Yeahright. Tell me another fairy tale, grandma.
Yeahright. Tell me another fairy tale, grandma.
We have a handful of billionaires controlling the planet....
“inadvertently” my left butt cheek.
Screw Twitter.Thank god I never signed up for that communist piece of crap.Now if everyone else would just leave it behind.That would suit me fine.
Mistakes were made...
...quite often.
One look at the maggot-infested CEO and you know that this is not inadvertent.
Oops. Another glitch that hurts conservatives. Completely random and unpredictable.
We know they’re lying, because EVERY “mistake” goes liberals’ way. If they were honestly mistakes, at least a few would favor conservatives.
