Twitter’s angry, lightweight, moved at least temporarily on Saturday to denounce the lie in some other Tweet by Donald Trump.
94 minutes after the president of the United States. Encouraging the North Carolina electorate to take action on Election Day that could cause them legal problems, Twitter responded. The company added a note to the tweet informing readers that Trump’s comments “violate Twitter’s regulations on civic and electoral integrity. “
“We have put a public interest in this Tweet for violating our civic integrity policy, that is, to inspire others to vote twice,” reads in Twitter’s security memorandum. Trump’s tweet inspired the North Carolina electorate to vote twice, which is an illegal act.
The tweet was temporarily corrected through North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, who explained how the first electorate to mail their ballots can check online to make sure their vote is counted in a separate tweet.

Trump’s misleading comments are only reported to be removed. Twitter Safety, in its explanation, relied on the site’s now popular technique for these issues: recognizing that the president’s comments are a flagrant violation of Twitter’s rules, but allowing it to remain “given its relevance to the ongoing public conversation. “

Does that really mean anything? People who help Trump as Twitter is engaging in a grim practice that prohibits those who share their beliefs. Marking his tweet is just another example of trump-era “alternative facts,” which is rarely genuine, it is. just a term invented through Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway to avoid admitting a lie.
I just need us all to be transparent here. Twitter claims to act to protect others on Twitter, however, this sounds when the company allows apparent (and increasingly heinous) violations of its own regulations to continue circulating, knowing full well that a segment of its users thinks the company is full of garbage. .
These flags are not intended for you, Twitter user, so that they are not influenced by the president’s lies. They are designed for “the ongoing public conversation. “Twitter is nothing without the commitment created through our daily word war, especially from Marvel videos to the merits of a child with bird wings over another.
Trump, as has been pointed out many times, is a device of participation, people would continue to communicate about the president’s lies and incentives even if his tweets were deleted, but when do they have the right to live?That’s more Twitter clicks and a more direct commitment to tweets from those who, without the presidency, would have earned a lifetime ban on the platform a long time ago.
