I understand how Twitter says that these are relevant to the recent events, but it feels like they were just sitting around waiting for him to tweet something they could latch onto to use as a reason to remove him. Because these tweets seem innocent compared to so many of his others.
Really not sure how I feel about this though... weighing between the benefits of allowing open speech on “town square” Internet forums versus enforcing their right as a private entity and removing his violence-inciting self.
Either way, this is a huge deal
- dannyw 6y agoThere’s probably some political infighting going on at twitter’s decision making committee. Maybe some people threatened to resign or something, or maybe @jack just told them to ban Trump now.
- thih9 6y ago> these tweets seem innocent compared to so many of his others. I think they wanted to say that the context matters. I.e. with actual violence happening not long ago and with a possibility of more violence in future, I’d say that posting relatively innocent tweets contributes to building tension.
- dillondoyle 6y agoI agree and they should have articulated the clear and present danger of this much better. E.g. the inauguration as one very clear example They are already planning for the 20th on different platforms. It just takes one more tweet from DJT to light another fire. And the problem is these people don't care what the content is, they read what they want to read because the Q conspiracy is insane. Even if he tweeted "mmm my mcdonalds burger tonight is extra good" they would read something insane into it
