In “The Twitter Rules,” the social media and messaging platform says:
▪ “. . . We prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear.”
▪ “You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.”
▪ “You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.”
▪ “You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”
Violation is supposed to result in suspension or limitation of the account. When will Twitter extend enforcement of its rules to a certain resident of the White House?
