Twitter Inc on Tuesday placed a warning notice on a tweet from U.S. President Donald Trump which threatened "serious force" against protesters in the U.S. capital, saying it violated the company's policy against abusive behavior.

Ridiculous.

Trump should just use 4Chan or 8chan or any other site on the internet where the largest number of alt right, anti-Americans post messages. That's where his base are anyway. Or he should get his fellow 'elite' to come up with their own messaging site.

So the head of all federal law enforcement agencies cannot warn potential law breakers that force will be deployed against them if they break the law? I'm no fan of Trump but you cannot be a serious and credible person if you think Twitter's decision is justifiable here.

Why is it that you exaggerate all the time? That is not true, most conservatives alt-left or right use twitter overwhelmingly, let's keep it real now. The problem is, the owners would like to have a one thought community that's true and at this rate if they continue on this dangerous path, I can see congress breaking the company up into smaller companies. They can't have a platform that caters to one political ideology over another.

That's where his base are anyway.

No, that's not where his base is.

Or he should get his fellow 'elite' to come up with their own messaging site.

I heard something like that is in the works that a few people were thinking about a platform that caters to everyone and not that the partisan alt-left.

Trump is not the problem, Twitter is. Ban twitter from the universe forever.

klausdorth:

Twitter should finally and for good terminate Trump's account!

Provoking, insulting, dividing, using inappropriate language ....

So I suppose you regularly read his tweets if you feel so strongly about them. And you ask Twitter to protect you from this horrible thing. I wonder if Twitter is forcing you to read all this "insulting, dividing, using inappropriate language"? If not, what is your problem? Not only you but everybody else must be prevented by a California big tech company to seeing things that the censors at the tech company deem wrongthink?

Anything else you want Twitter to decide that you and I must not see?

I have seen suggestions that he should quit Twatter and go to the Parler, which is an uncensored Twitter alternative. In that case, of course the fake media would be forced to follow him there, since they need their red meat. Problem is, Twitter is still the de facto monopoly, and he would thus render the agora to the leftoid censors.

I am of split mind about this. Don´t know if the positives outweigh the negatives.

It's petty, but the fact I know this really angers him makes me happy.

Steve Schmidt said it best:

“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.

They should label them all as hate speech, which is exactly what they are...

Or label them as entertainment - like the Bozo the Clown Show....

"I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

Dear leader trump has also been retweeting videos of altercations between whites and minorities.

Seems he is done pretending and is openly coming out as a racist!!

Telling violent vandalizers that they will be arrested is now "abusive behaviour".

Got to love our new opinion censors at Twatter, Fakebook et al.

Yeah the one where the white guy was getting beaten up for no reason, sure. Cause that never happens in liberal land.

LOL. Censorship is the new normal for the democrats, and socialist. It's the best chance they have of achieving a hollow victory. If you can't beat 'em fairly, trash the 1st Amendment, and claim that the other side forced you to do it.

The twits at Twitter should be ashamed of themselves, if that were even possible.

Just start a new Twitter channel called the "Orange and White Channel"....

All Trump's white supremacist/KKK members can flock there and share their Neo-Nazi hate speech...

David Duke can moderate...

The leftist just keep pushing the insane envelope. Cuckoo land.

Why doesn't Trump use FOX Nation social media? Stop using Twitter and use a conservative bases social media service. It's just coding and servers. If Trump and his pe

people don't like Twitter just use a new platform. And if it doesn't exist then build it

Right, dump Twitter and use (or build if it doesn't exist) a new social media service. Twitter is a private business and so is Fox Nation

Just get some coders and network engineers (remember Trump is a billionaire) and start a new social media service called Trumper. Almost sounds like Twitter. Dump Twitter already and move on. Why just complain and talk about it?

It's the 2nd time in days that Trump got himself in trouble on social media

The other was for using 2 toddlers in a doctored video doing the opposite of what actually happened, that even angered both parents of the toddlers that the President were exploiting their children for his own agenda

‘Not funny’: Parents speak out after Donald Trump shares ‘manipulated’ video of children -- The parents of the two toddlers featured in a doctored video shared by Donald Trump have described the footage as “disgusting to watch”.

https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/not-funny-parents-speak-out-after-donald-trump-shares-manipulated-video-of-children/news-story/351e8f8473e1331fec1f45f0eb5f193d

The parents of two toddlers featured in a fake video shared by US President Donald Trump have slammed the meme as “hurtful propaganda”.

Michael Cisneros last year filmed his son, who is black, running towards his white friend and the two children embracing in a hug.

The video went viral online and was reported on by CNN, which headlined the story: “These two toddlers are showing us what real-life besties look like”.

But an edited version of the video shared by Mr Trump on Thursday showed Mr Cisneros’s son instead being chased by his friend.

The video, which was created by the Carpe Donktum right-wing meme account, included the captions “Terrified Toddler Runs From Racist Baby” and “Racist Baby Probably a Trump Voter” and urged viewers to report “fake news”.

“It was so hurtful to see this. This video of love … I could not believe what we were watching,” Mr Cisneros said.

“It’s just terrible that the president of the United States is actually joking with something like this.”

Facebook and Twitter have both removed the video after Mr Cisneros lodged a copyright-infringement claim.

Mr McKenna said he and his wife found the video upsetting.

“I thought it was propaganda. I was really aghast immediately when I saw it. It’s not funny,” he told CNN.

“I couldn’t understand how someone would share something like that, to think it was funny. Calling my son racist or what it was. It made me very upset.”

“We’ll continue working with facts rather than tweeting fake videos that exploit innocent children. We invite you to do the same. Be better.”

The "trouble" on social media is the increasing censorship by the politically biased big tech companies who run them.

The other was for using 2 toddlers in a doctored video doing the opposite of what actually happened, that even angered both parents of the toddlers that the President were exploiting their children for his own agenda

That was a brilliant spoof on the fake news published by CNN.... obvious to anyone except the liberal hacks who complained about it. A "doctored video", LOL.... you should apply for a job at CNN.
