It has roiled social media for months now, but it&#8217;s still a hot topic. In the end, it&#8217;s likely a violation of Twitter&#8217;s terms of service. There are several reasons for the decision. In some ways, it&#8217;s just another example of an authoritarian government. In another, the message could be seen as an endorsement of an invalid election. In other words, it could serve as a safe time to plot violent acts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_violation_of_free_speech\"><\/span>a violation of free speech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The deletion of Donald Trump&#8217;s account on Twitter has ignited a political firestorm. Many conservatives say that the move amounts to censorship and a violation of the First Amendment, especially in a time of heightened political tension. On the other hand, some have argued that the ban is justified, as the tweets were aimed at conservatives and not at the president himself.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has long complained about censorship and stifling his freedom of speech, but a recent case raised a different issue &#8211; whether or not Twitter violated free speech by deleting his tweets. Twitter&#8217;s CEO, Jack Dorsey, said that they were worried about Trump&#8217;s tweets inciting violence. The company opted to delete two tweets by Trump because they contained inflammatory language, such as &#8220;75,000,000 great American Patriots&#8221; and &#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This case is important for two reasons: first, it has important implications for free speech online. After all, President Trump held a White House summit to discuss social media regulation and he denounced alleged discrimination against conservative speakers on the social media platform. Second, it is unclear what effect the ruling will have on Twitter&#8217;s ability to discriminate. It could limit its ability to ban certain users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_violation_of_security_threats\"><\/span>a violation of security threats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter is under fire after deleting President Donald Trump&#8217;s account after it posted racist and inflammatory tweets. In addition to the fact that his tweets were deemed &#8220;official statements,&#8221; Twitter also posted a warning label on the account when he suggested the use of the military to squelch Black Lives Matter protests. Twitter also started using fact-checking services to check Trump&#8217;s statements, and even banned his account in early December.<\/p>\n<p>The administration has already taken action against several unauthorized users, including one former government employee who still had passwords to government accounts. One case involved a Redwoods National Park account. If the tweets were hacked, unauthorized users may face prosecution under federal hacking laws. However, the FBI has yet to get involved in any of the unauthorized tweeting cases. So, it is hard to say for sure if security threats were the reason why Trumps Twitter account was deleted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_violation_of_the_Glorification_of_Violence_policy\"><\/span>a violation of the Glorification of Violence policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has suspended the account of a famous Iranian leader for repeatedly violating its Glorification of Violence policy. The account&#8217;s content glorifies indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel and antisemitic terrorist groups. In addition, the content has repeatedly endorsed Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other antisemitic terrorist organizations. This content has also violated Twitter&#8217;s terms of service.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s Glorification of Violence policy is aimed at protecting the public&#8217;s right to hold power in a free society. As a result, any content that glorifies violence is not allowed on the service. Violations of Twitter&#8217;s policy may result in the permanent suspension of a user&#8217;s account. The consequences of such a suspension depend on the nature and severity of the violation. The company also updated its Media Policy to clarify what constitutes adult content, graphic violence, and hate symbols.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmL4ZrBcyXg\" width=\"534\" height=\"299\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Was Trump&#8217;s Tweet Deleted From Twitter?
