Twitter placed a warning label on one of President Trump's tweets about the protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota over George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody.
The social media giant said the early Friday morning tweet, which called the protesters "THUGS" and implied they could be shot, "glorified violence" and therefore violated Twitter's rules on violence.
Twitter did not take the tweet down, but it is hidden from view unless a user wants to see it.

"Twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies & propaganda being put out by China or the Radical Left Democrat Party," he tweeted Friday morning. "They have targeted Republicans, Conservatives & the President of the United States. Section 230 should be revoked by Congress. Until then, it will be regulated!"

And truth be told, the shooting already started on the part of the rioters in Minneapolis, Kentucky and other hot spots.
Catcher... with his “Pitcher”. Both mentally ill.
Once again, Twitter is censoring our President.
Sucks for them. It only serves to drive more support for the right against the wrong (left).
I love how the president used the word THUGS. I wonder how many liberals wet their pants in anger of that? Didn’t the AP style book ban the use of that word? Don’t they equate that word as the same as n****r?
lolol
.... he has a duty to maximize shareholder wealth, which he is not doing and has not been doing for years.
Do you think this attention will increase or decrease Twitter users?
*******
You have asked the bottom line question, I believe. I believe that Jack Dorsey thinks he is increasing Twitter users; and very short term who knows? But over any investor time horizon, say one year or longer, his actions in the past few days have effectively destroyed his platform and pummeled his brand.
I also believe that the damage can be reversed 80% if the board fires him and backs off of this nonsense. If you’ve been following Nancy Pelosi (heaven forfend!), she is not appeased by Dorsey’s actions and is attacking him and every similar Silicon Valley outfit for not taking a harder line. So Dorsey has only succeeded recently in stirring up the left’s hornets nest and alienated every centrist or right-minded voter. This is a NO WIN for Twitter and Dorsey.
Also, if you follow Twitter’s stock price, it has been up quite impressively since February. But don’t be fooled. It’s not because Dorsey is doing well. On the contrary, the stock price rise can be attributed directly to an agreement that Dorsey worked out with hostile investor Paul Singer (Elliott Management) to raise the stock price or hit the road.
Dorsey’s days are numbered. We would do well in our section of the ideological universe to apply a modest amount of pressure to have him cashiered.
Twitter using a warning label now because they ran out of spin stories stocks should be going cheap soon.
