Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for 'glorifying violence' | Twitter

Fri 29 May 2020 09.39 BST

Twitter has hidden one of Donald Trump’s tweets behind a warning that it “glorifies violence”, further escalating the social media company’s row with the US president.

The US president’s tweet, posted on Thursday night Washington time, warned people in Minneapolis protesting against the killing of a black man, George Floyd, by a white police officer that he would send the military to intervene if there was “any difficulty”.

“When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Trump wrote, apparently quoting the former Miami police chief Walter Headley, who in December 1967 promised violent reprisals to protests over stop-and-frisk tactics.

Two hours later, Twitter added a notice to the tweet: “This tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the tweet to remain accessible.”

The warning was accompanied by a link to its policies about public interest exceptions.

For people visiting Trump’s Twitter timeline, or seeing the tweet retweeted on their feed, the warning obscures the content until they tap to view it.

Users who try to reply to the tweet are instead presented with a second notice that reads: “We try to prevent a tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it.” Existing replies no longer appear below it.

The tweet’s spread will also be limited by Twitter’s algorithms, according to the company’s policy documents. 

The warning suggests Twitter has no intention of backing down in its dispute with Trump, which erupted on Wednesday when the company applied a fact-checking label to the president’s tweets for the first time.

I believe that we're watching the first real post 9/11 division and fall of the America empire before our eyes with Trump at the top violating the Constitution and leading people to believe anything he wants. People defending it while their own rights are being violated. Like a snake handling worshiper, they're having faith in the (stupid, retarded clown) leader and thinking it makes you infallible and the snake won't bite you.

Captured top Nazi leader Hermann Göring said in his cell before his suicide, on the rise of Nazism in Germany and how it was done, the entire campaign against the Jews and all other political opponents:
"But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace makers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

We won't understand what's happening until historians examine it 100 years in the future.

Here is brief explanation of the current situation with Trump and Social media and what he is going to do

The original founder of Facebook Tyler Winklevoss has sent out a tweet agreeing with Trump's decision to stop shielding social media platforms for their obvious bias in political support as he describes it.

Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Comission for Twitter's interference and meddling with elections. It has been known for a long time now these tech giants has been silencing their political opponents and should be held accountable as they have the power to change an election with just an algorithm they need to be regulated.

Senator Elizabeth Warren she also shares a similar view and insists that these tech giants needs to be broken up as they have become far too big and powerful. Senator Elizabeth Warren is one of the few sensible thinking people in the Democratic party.

Senator Warren's position is to break up the tech platforms because she believes that they have predatory practices that eliminate competion. It has precious little to do with political influence of the companies themselves.

The more progressive regulations proposed by Senator Warren are very much in line with the same regulations coming out of the EU.

---------

Warren believes weak antitrust enforcement in the U.S. has helped big technology companies cement their dominance and hurt competition and innovation in the sector. According to her, the lack of choices for consumers has allowed these tech giants to neglect privacy and user experience. Here's how she plans to defang the FAANGs and even the playing field.

The Plan

Among Warren's 48 plans, is the "How we can break up Big Tech" plan. According to her, companies acquire smaller rivals and use their proprietary online marketplaces to unfairly limit competition.

As the number of regulatory stories can be overwhelming even for those tracking them, here’s a breakdown of what has been happening across Europe.

The EU

Those looking for further regulation of tech companies may look first to the EU, given the ability the trading bloc has to coordinate policy across a number of big economies.

And competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager has certainly shown an appetite for clamping down on companies like Google. She has been behind some of the most punishing fines handed out to the US tech giants, including a $14.8 billion fine for Apple over tax evasion in 2016, and separate fines of $5 billion and $2.7 billion for Google over the past two years for antitrust violations.

TOPLINE The official White House Twitter feed seemingly taunted Twitter on Friday morning, reposting an earlier post from President Trump which it said was “glorifying violence;” Twitter has responded by censoring the White House tweet as well.

CRITICAL QUOTE:
“Imagine if your phone company silenced or edited your conversations. Social-media companies have vastly more power and more reach than any phone company in the United States,” Trump said Thursday, just before signing the executive order.



TANGENT:
Critics have noted that Trump’s comments echo the remarks of former Miami police chief Walter Headley, who threatened a violent crackdown on protests over his stop-and-frisk tactics targeting African Americans in 1967. Headley was chief of police in Miami for 20 years. According to a United Press International article published two days after Christmas in 1967, Headley said that law enforcement was targeting “young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. “This is war,” Headley declared, announcing a new effort to put down a recent surge of violent crime in the city, adding, “We don’t mind being accused of police brutality.”

KEY BACKGROUND:
On Tuesday, Twitter applied, for the first time, a fact-checking notice to tweets by the president, which were related to voter fraud. On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order with the intent of curtailing social media companies’ rights by restricting their liability protections, calling Twitter “an editor with a viewpoint.” The executive order takes aim at a federal regulation known as Section 230, which gives companies like Facebook and Twitter immunity against being sued over the content that appears on their sites from users. Friday’s back-and-forth will assuredly only increase tensions between the president and the popular social media platform.

Watch a classic example of Fake News by a well established media house

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/ ... l-media-us

This is the UK Guardian, and is a perfect literally perfect example of how a well organized established and trusted media house often reports fake news.

Notice how the article says that Trump threatened violence against protesters, threaten to shoot and kill protesters.

Do you see something wrong with that post by the Guardian? incase you didn't spot it Trump never once suggested violence against protesters.

he said and it can be viewed on his tweet

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 0780744704

TRUMP WROTE....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

^ classic example of what people does be talking about, the media is largely left leaning and they view anybody else with a different opinion as a political opponent that should be destroyed.

And in doing so they are more than willing to openly lie and report fake news, an innocent reader who believes the Guardian or any big news source will immediately think that Trump was suggesting to shoot protesters. Most tuners here on this thread even believe these things hook, line and sinker. Most will never bother to fact check anything because I mean why bother to fact check something like the BBC and Guardian? surely they must be reporting the truth? if only eh

warren lying. she riding which ever wave she think could get her higher. talk all kinda talk now, sell u the moon, and when she reach in office, one pack ah excuse for why she not doing them any more.

on another note, it seems that klobuchar had chance to prosecute the knee on neck killer cop a few years back, on some of his past reports of hyper aggression on the job.. i cant remember the term they use for that. but she didnt, just let it pass by, and now u have him continuing to kill a man.
klobuchar is another big talk nothing burger. might as well vote for wall paper

[shogun]

^Man, I never got the appeal of Klobuchar. The personality of a styrofoam cooler with zero substance. If Biden chooses her, consider the race even closer.

its the same mechanism as PNM. the echelons select a person they can get to forward their agendas when the cameras are off, and able to say things in public that can get a pass in the public like biden or talk champion talk like obama. so what they do more, instead of putting forward good things to wave in ur face, is resort to vilify the opponent. so, orange man bad, we have to vote blue, and if u dont vote blue, ur insane.
u have to vote balisier cause kmala and she people will win. dont mind wasa brand a rotoplastic tank and set it on bescrete block, as their solution to water up in the hills,, that dont mean nutten, we dont want kamla and she kinda people inside.

and dat time the top level pnm is NOT them.

Colin Powell says he'll be voting for Biden

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is putting his support behind Joe Biden.

"I'm very close to Joe Biden in a social matter and in a political matter," Powell told CNN's Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday morning. "I've worked with him for 35, 40 years. And he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him."

But Powell, who served as secretary of State under President George W. Bush, isn't planning on making any campaign trips for the Democratic presidential candidate, just yet.

"Well, I haven't been asked [to campaign for Biden] and I don't think I will be," he added. "Campaigning is not my strong suit. I'll be speaking for him, but I don't plan to make campaign trips.

Powell spent much of the interview ripping President Donald Trump for his actions and for his character, saying hie has lowered America’s standing in the eyes of the world. “We have a Constitution and we have to follow that Constitution and the President has drifted away from it,” Powell said.

Trump's Twitter account appears as the top result when users search the word 'racist.' Twitter says an algorithm is behind that 'recommendation.'

Twitter users on Saturday noted that when they searched for the word "racist" on the platform, Twitter pointed them toward the account of President Donald Trump. 

"The top result for racist on Twitter is the president of the United States," The Verge's Tom Warren tweeted. 

Business Insider was able to replicate this on Saturday afternoon by searching for both the terms "racist" and "racism."

A spokesperson for Twitter on Saturday told Business Insider that the president is listed under these terms as a result of the company's algorithm, which is triggered by user behavior. 

"If an account is mentioned often alongside certain terms, it can become algorithmically surfaced together as a recommendation," the spokesperson said.

As Insider previously noted, it's been a rocky few weeks between the president and Twitter. On May 28, he issued an executive order in an attempt to regulate it and other companies like Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. The order directly followed the company's decision to fact-check his tweets and was issued the day before it flagged another one of his posts as violent.

Was thinking Biden will choose Klobuchar as the VP but with all the beatup in the states right now, the dems will ride the wave of black lives matter, police brutality, white supremacy, etc and attempt to advance it into votes so the VP would not just be a woman but also a woman of color.

Trump campaign demands CNN apologize for poll that shows Biden leading

By Veronica Stracqualursi and Harry Enten, CNN

Updated 1:43 PM EDT, Wed June 10, 2020

Washington(CNN) President Donald Trump's campaign is demanding CNN retract and apologize for a recent poll that showed him well behind presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The demand, coming in the form of a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker, was immediately rejected by the network.

"We stand by our poll," said Matt Dornic, a CNN spokesman.

The CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released on Monday shows Trump trailing the former vice president by 14 points, 55%-41%, among registered voters. It also finds the President's approval rating at 38% -- his worst mark since January 2019, and roughly on par with approval ratings for one-term Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at this point in their reelection years -- and his disapproval rating at 57%.

Soon after the poll was released, Trump tweeted that he had hired Republican pollster McLaughlin & Associates to "analyze" the CNN poll and others, "which I felt were FAKE based on the incredible enthusiasm we are receiving." McLaughlin ranks as one of the least accurate pollsters in the industry, as measured by FiveThirtyEight.

Several other polls released over the past few weeks -- including polls by ABC News/Washington Post, Monmouth University, NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist College, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Quinnipiac University and Fox News -- also show Biden well ahead of Trump. These polls, averaged with the CNN poll, find Biden up by double digits, a result well outside any margin of error.

You seriously think trump gonna win again. I hope so but seriously them numbers eh looking so good. Biden have a bigger lead than Hillary did in the polls.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I think Biden is a pretty reasonable person, sure he is a pedophile but so are most rich powerful people. Pedophilia has been a thing in rich society for a very long time, you can see he likes girls from 12 years old and up. This isn't as bad as the other pedos who go after the ones even younger.

I think between Trump and Biden, I would say Biden is a more reasonable and understanding person, even tho he is in favor of corporations over people. Biden talks a good talk but he would never walk it, he will always ut the 1% above everybody else he will always put the military industrial complex over poor people etc. He will ALWAYS try to outsource jobs to China etc and fck over the American people including black people.

But all in all, I still feel Biden is more reasonable than Trump.

It is a shame Bernie wasn't given a fair shake, the corrupt media killed any chance he ever had. But Biden isn't as bad as people are making him out to be, he might probably be a better President than Trump.

[Kewell35]

Why do people always blame things like the media or the DNC when it comes to Sanders? Sanders is seen as weak and a socialist. The majority of americans don't like him no matter how the media try to portray him. He hasn't won a nomination for that reason.

[agent007]

As of yesterday, I may have to change my predictions. Trump or Biden, we in TT have our own problems to face this year. If PNM does win, study which country to seek asylum to because they will make here into Haiti definitely between 2020 and 2025. Imagine, we become 2nd class citizens in our own country and subject to hate crimes etc. Dont think it's far-fetched, I am putting a contingency plan in place and america was at the top of that list until may 25th gone.
