Child pornography is illegal. If Trumps tweet is illegal, then the authorities would love to know and the justice system can handle it.
No one is asking Twitter to break the law, nor host illegal content of any kind.
- lhorie 6y agoSure, but the point is that Twitter would be justified in proactively removing said content before a legal order to that effect got served. More broadly, Twitter is not obligated to keep tweets up from anyone to anyone. It would be rather silly if, for example, all tweets from north america got deleted and people got up in arms accusing it of "censorship" (in a hypothetical scenario where unbeknownst to them, there was a catastrophic infrastructure failure).
