It's going to amount to a full on temper tantrum by lunch time, I have no doubt.

Twitter has for the first time slapped a violence warning on Trump’s tweet on threatening to shoot protesters
- Thread starter Armadilo

They're absolutely shook. If anything, keep applying pressure.
I'm going to assume the Press Secretary account will be first.
Removing him from Twitter would force him to have to vocalize in front of the camera his most fucked up shit
And internet is not treated as seriously as sound clips.

I think it's all 'sad' really. I mean, I'm never gonna be President or anything, but I think it don't look right good to be writing stuff like that on Twitter. The common sense bit of me? He is just fucking deranged, dementia ridden and totally the wrong choice as a leader. In what reality are we supposed to be living where a man like this rules what is supposed to be the most powerful nation in the world. Just ridiculous.

It doesn't look like it to me, but I'm completely uneducated on the Israel/Palestine conflict so I could be entirely wrong.
This is a presidential election year and people are calling him out more than they ever have before. Trump will not be able to keep his trap shut, expect this to continue for another 6 months.
I was trying to figure out a proper way to say exactly this. When I first read that, I honestly didn't see the direct issue with it. But again, I'm pretty ignorant on the deeper substance of it.
But it will resonate
tWitter should be cracking down on a lot of popular names that break rules but they wont which allows the right to demonstrate election interference
twitter needs to make a statement outlinin trumps most horrible tweets and putting the dog in his place
i want them to call out his blatant lies to piss him off
trump criticizes trump is a great subreddit to show hIs hypocrisy. Id love for twitter to just delcare war on him and expose him
Absolutely this. Between this and the headlines about known child molester Zuckerberg, this is how you hit back against these fucks.
Just a staggering mixture of bleakness (COVID & the number of deaths), sadness (Minneapolis), and amusement (Trump/White House vs Twitter) this morning.
What a fucked up timeline! 😫

I just don't really buy that. I agree deplatforming works, I don't think it works when you're the president of the united states, particularly this president. It'll just get all the "MY FREEDOMS! MY SPEECH!" people worked up even more, it gives him too much ammo.
If you think Jihad means kill white people, yes.
If you correctly define it more as a religious struggle, then no.
It's different for the President. He'd be a huge get. The things the president says are inherently newsworthy, regardless of whether he says them on Twitter or Gab, so the reporting will drive users to the platform.
The UK government is also completely fumbling at the moment, and they are just as right wing. Turns out these fuckers can't handle the pressure so I hope it continues and the public really sees the right wing for what it is
At least the US has an upcoming election. We're stuck with the bumbling fucks for years, minimum.
It would depend on what context they're using "jihad", I would say, because it's certainly glorifying jihad — but that term has a wide array of both violent and non-violent meanings.
Unfortunately so. Here's hoping they continue to fuck up since the public has such short memories
it's true, they've let the terrorist GOP and Dictator Trump run free. And now It appears they're gonna stop.
Where is the breaking of ToS in that tweet? Whataboutism for shit that ain't even there...
I love the thumbnail they decided to use to illustrate the article. And this is a website who's supporting this piece of shit.
Of course it would be a big "get" but it would still be fractional compared to Twitter's reach. He'd get journalists and maybe a few million real followers?
Platform "stars" always need the platform more than the platform needs the star.
It's fucking incredible in the worst way. It's genuinely incredible how much of a Joke the US government has become at the behest of someone with the most fragile ego imaginable. I'm genuinely continually in awe at just how fragile it all really was.
My sympathies from across the pond, friend. We all gotta stay strong!
Those saying that deplatforming only works at certain scales: we have no evidence of that. A platform is elevated by its very nature. Get him off the platform and he'll scurry to some other one, but it will absolutely hurt him even if it's just temporary. It also sends a lot of positive signals and sets a precedent for what kind of world we want to be interacting in when we're online. There are so many good reasons to ban his account like all other offenders.
Perhaps Twitter just gives him like a mandatory 3 day ban from Twitter. That way Twitter when they lift the ban, it was still them doing it and not bowing to Donald. And Donald meanwhile is basically left just screaming at everyone around him for three days.
He was unsuccessfully impeached and also without provocation assassinated Iran's top general this year
I legitmately don't understand this, you think this twitter warning will have any new meaningful consequences? He's already done the EO dance that wont amount to anything and social media platforms were pre-emptively kowtowing to conservatives long before this.
Why though? Didn't Trump throw them under the bus already, repeatedly?
