Twitter may pull Trump's offensive tweets as it plans to label posts that break rules
FirstpostTwitter is considering a new feature that will label tweets from public figures that violate its rules. However, things might change on Twitter as the company is considering a new feature that will label tweets from politicians like Donald Trump when they violate the rules. Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust and safety Vijaya Gadde in a Washington Post- Although tweets from commoners that inject hate or defame one’s identity likely get removed for violating Twitter’s rules, the company grants an exemption for public figures and tweets it considers “newsworthy.” Gadde however, says that doesn’t give them a complete dispensation and that it would draw a line on some content. His offensive tweets of calling Harry Hurt a ‘ dummy dope,’ a former staffer “a dog” was cited to be the actions of those akin to cyberbullying. While Twitter earlier this year noted that a blocking a world leader from the platform or removing their tweets may hide ‘important information’ that people might see and debate, it remains to be how the company shall move forward with the labeling idea.
