Twitter posted a notice on a Tweet of President Trump and forbade its circulation yesterday as a Trump ally called on the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation of Twitter for bypassing sanctions and providing Iranian leaders with Twitter accounts.
The President early yesterday posted tweets on the Minneapolis rioting, in which he referred to protesters as "THUGS" and said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."
Twitter placed a warning on the tweet, saying that in its view Trump was "glorifying violence."
Trump's message on Twitter came during a night of protests and looting in Minneapolis and were almost surely meant as a warning to the rioters. That riot has been quelled by state authorities.
Trump's ally, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., sharply questions Twitter's claim that it need not heed the sanctions. The company has announced that it is under no obligation to observe the sanctions against Iran, citing the coronavirus pandemic as a reason for ignoring the federal controls.
After Twitter "fact-checked" him, Trump signed an order stripping Twitter and other editorializing social media platforms of their liability shields, meaning they can no longer block lawsuits stemming from message content by claiming to be neutral forums.
