Twitter bans Trump death wishes, sparking debate

Amazing the liberals need to be reminded of this and that there is “debate” about whether it’s ok to post on Twitter that you hope Trump dies.

"Tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against anyone are not allowed and will need to be removed," Twitter said in a post.

Trump getting Covid was such an interesting Rorschach-like test: it exposed people for who they really were.

The Trump death wish posts all come from Russian trolls - designed to inflame Trump's supporters and stoke division....as they've been doing since 2016....

And Trump's supporters so easily fall for it...

Hasn’t trump tweeted about going to war to murder millions and millions of people? Is he banned?

I can completely understand Twitter banning threats to hurt or kill someone, but I don’t see wishing death on someone who is ill in the same way. It’s low and trashy, but shouldn’t be banned.

Zara Rahim is not Russian, sorry.

"I hope he dies"

LOL! I wont even say nice try.Pathetic.

No adult should wish death on anyone. It's not left it's not right it's human.

@licolnman: you also said "I rarely use the word evil - but Trump embodies evil " and called him a dictator. Yet you wish him good health? If I believed he was an evil dictator, I certainly wouldn't be sad to see him pass. Either you don't believe your own words, or perhaps you speak Russian?

Only idiots believe the trash he debauches Twitter with.

Twitter should be more focused on celebs who retweet things like dodgy videos from racist organizations. This is far more dangerous and corrosive than trashy wishes to see sick people die.

I guess you missed this

Conservative Republicans have relentless used social media to spew venom...

Or that OK? Oh, and the venom they speak of includes death threats!

The Trump death wish posts all come from Russian trolls

The FBI debunked failed Russian theory again?

Only AOC would take "spewing venom" as a literal death wish... Not surprised.

In coded messages for sure.

Probably one good thing from Trump's COVID diagnosis is that liberals will stop getting death threats on twitter.

Or liberals wishing for the President’s demise.

That name keeps coming up. Because there aren’t any others.

Dems aren’t used to Twitter enforcing rules against them. No wonder they are shocked.

So do Trump supporters agree with this curtailment of freedom of speech or what?

Jimizo: "Only idiots believe the trash he debauches Twitter with."

Very true, and some of them even post Twitter links and claim the comments are "facts".

Anyway, Twitter wouldn't want to upset its biggest customer and his legion of fools. They can call for the deaths of whomever they choose and Twitter will refuse to take the nonsense down, citing first amendment, or at worst, after they result in murders, say something like, "We need to do more (but won't)". But Trump? Nope. A lot of media is following this "logic" though. Johnson got it and people mocked him, said it was deserved, and more, and those comments still sit online. But you even hint at mockery with Trump?

There are many. But if I post 5 names you will just say there arent 6. Then you will lose interest once proven wrong and then say it doesnt matter anyway.

So its pointless to proceed. 1 is enough to prove "it happened".

If someone wished for Obama or RBG or ANY liberal that they die would that be acceptable as free speech?

It doesn’t matter what you post because your credibility is long gone.

Dems aren’t used to Twitter enforcing rules against them. No wonder they are shocked.

Why are you and other conservatives so blind to the fact that we are ALL getting censored like crazy? Persecution complex much? Or do you just love to divide us all some more? As someone whose body of opinions cannot be pigeon-holed (because I think for myself rather than kowtow to any "group") I can tell you both my left and right leaning opinions have been remorselessly, pointedly, and reflexively carved out online. YOU don't know because you are firmly on the right and you don't even want to know.

Yes. I already posted that I think it would.

Keep partisanship out of it and argue the principle.

The death and rape threats JK Rowling has received are still there.

so that Zara Rahim person did NOT post on Twitter "I hope he dies"?

Im quite credible if she did. need a screenshot of the deleted tweet?

I guess you forget the Russians hacked the DNC in 2016....

I guess Trump supporters see Russia as being on their team...

I know Trump does...

So do Trump supporters agree with this curtailment of freedom of speech or what?

Just give a straight answer.

I don’t agree with it.

Thats not what I’m talking about Randy.

The double standards of the regressiven left are showing. On one hand, they want to censor, ban, "deplatform", "shadowban" and whatnot everything that goes against the narrative, but death wishes for the the guy they hate are fine.

Dems just mad the rules apply to them too this one time.

Nope.

Trump retweeted dodgy videos from a UK-based racist organization. This caused so much fury in the UK, the UK PM rebuked him.

Trump wasn’t even suspended for posting inflammatory and misleading racist trash.

Why was this?

neither were the people who posted the I hope he dies type tweets. Just removed.

Regular people, especially liberals, get the same or better treatment than the President. Sounds fair to me.

Why would he be suspended if they arent? plus we are not talking retweets or "dodgy" videos, the article is talking about direct tweets of wishes for certain people to die. Just a litttttle different.

Yes. I already posted that I think it would. 

Keep partisanship out of it and argue the principle

Has nothing to do with partisanship, now be so kind and answer the question, please.

lincolnman - The Trump death wish posts all come from Russian trolls - designed to inflame Trump's supporters and stoke division....as they've been doing since 2016....

lol. Haters gotta hate. That's what they do. Decisions made under the influence of hate are poor decisions. Claiming that, "the Trump death wish posts ALL come from Russian trolls", is simply unbelievable, and totally lacks credibility. No one is falling for your personal bias.

Twitter should be more focused on celebs who retweet things like dodgy videos from racist organizations. This is far more dangerous and corrosive than trashy wishes to see sick people die.

How about Twittering deleting both?
