Twitter Censors Drudge Tweet of Trump 2020 Slogan as ‘Sensitive Material’

Twitter is hiding a tweet from the official Drudge Report account that features President Trump’s 2020 campaign slogan, “Keep America Great.” .@Twitter censors @realDonaldTrump’s 2020 campaign slogan as “sensitive material” ὄ @DRUDGE_REPORT @dcexaminer pic.twitter.com/suK0lgBeIb

When Twitter users navigate to the page of the Drudge Report with their “sensitive content” filter enabled, they are unable to see the Drudge Report’s full tweet. For new Twitter users, the “sensitive content” filter is enabled automatically and has to manually switched off. Instructions on how to do this can be found at the bottom of this piece.

President Trump revealed his new slogan, “Keep America Great,” at a recent rally in Pennsylvania.

Breitbart News recently reported on Twitter filtering tweets from President Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. The filter appears to be triggered whenever anyone (including the President of the United States) retweets the Drudge Report. Users navigating to the official account of the Drudge Report, will find that all tweets from the account that contain URLs are hidden behind the same “sensitive content” warning message. When the President – or anyone else – retweets the account, their tweets are hidden too.

Twitter has now placed itself in a position where it is hiding tweets from the President if they contain links to one of the web’s top conservative news sites, in addition to hiding tweets from the Drudge Report that quote the President’s 2020 campaign slogan.

Users who wish to ensure that they continue to see all tweets from the President, Donald Trump Jr. and @DRUDGE_REPORT will have to manually disable their content filter. This can be done by unchecking the box marked “hide sensitive content” in your safety settings.

I bet if Trump started using gab-ai, millions would follow him.

These sanctimonious social media bosses are ramping up their censorship of conservatives. Twitter’s not the only one.

There is now 1 growing alternative to the leftist censorship of twitter, facebook, google youtube. It is called Steemit and is our only hope for now.

https://steemit.com/

There is steemit now which is based on blockchain technology and pays you to post.

All conservative must go to steemit. Please spread this around to everyone in email,sms text message.

Steemit also pays you to post or even like a post etc.

Steemit is the only thing that can stop twitter, google, youtube , facebook leftists and their censorship of the Internet.

There is also a DTube which is decentralized video clone of youtube based on steemit. Both are decentralized.

https://d.tube/

I'm a coder and I'm working on something else similar to steemit and DTube. Steemit seems to work great.

On my phone the box
“Display media that may contain sensitive content”
has to be checked.

At least that’s how I figure it.

It was unchecked.

Bastards.

Twitter Facebook Google and Amazon are CIA front ops.

The deep state owns a lot of the world right now.

This is going to get ugly.

Yes - we need some redundancy. Don’t abandon the other platforms, but also replicate efforts elsewhere.

Could also post to Vimeo and DailyMotion as well for videos even though they are lesser known just to make sure there is additional redundancy.

I agree with your post

Also Steemit is the bitcoin of social media.

As bitcoin doesn't need a bank to validate currency transactions steemit doesn't need a zuckerberg to censor posts.

Both are based on blockchain technology:

steemit is amazing tech.

ditto for dtube
