    In reality, Twitter picked this statement because it is consistent with their misinformation efforts up to this point. They've focused on election interference by hostile State actors. They've literally been hauled into Congress to testify about what they're doing to stop State actors from manipulating elections through their platform.

    Trump was spreading misinformation to do just that.

    There was nothing arbitrary about the decision, and it really was done because they felt they had the "cover" of consistency
    Look at time4fun jump through those hoops!

    The Twitter policy was announced Feb 4, 2020 and went into effect 30 days later on March 5, 2020. Facebook published a like policy late 2019. Twitter first made big news when it tagged what it claims was a manipulated video from the White House Director of Social Media posted on March 7th. Facebook quickly followed suit on this particular video. And that is around the first time that I recall hearing about how unfair it is that conservative voices are being shut out.

    What I find amusing presently is that Twitter is kicking out fact-check markers all over the place now, on a broad spectrum. I am sure the left will support the view that correctly applying the artificial intelligence to function properly would take time, while the right will evangelize the blatant targeting of its presence and reach beyond the "fake-news media with the facts" that our president has insisted is the only reason he uses Twitter for.

    There is one grain of truth in all of that, in that Twitter is testing and applying the applicability of its policies and automation on those accounts with the broadest reach and appeal as "a public service". This undoubtedly must include our very prominent-tweeting president. In an odd way, the president could claim to be important enough to Twitter to be fact-checked as a badge of honor.
    We're within six months of our nations Presidential election and following the manipulation of foreign actors in our elections in 2016, social media is finally stepping up to the plate. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, they've all been deleting thousands of accounts belonging to obvious social manipulation programs belonging to Russian groups within their country and in the African Continent. Now we have claims by the President that China is acting to support Biden, if this is true than a service is owed to prevent the same manipulation being engaged on behalf of the President by Trump.

    There are thousands of accounts, including politicians such as Hillary Clinton, who are saying Trump and other Democrats who challenged Biden, are Russian assets yet you don’t want those accounts deleted. Weird. Almost as if you don’t really give a shit about the shit you posted but instead just want to push your agenda. You are a very weak and small man.

    Instead of being angry at Twitter for trying to stop it, maybe you should be angry that your own President is one of those State actors.
    Is the Russia investigation heating up yet though?

    And then, there is this.

    Twitter hid a tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump behind a warning for the first time on Friday, accusing him of breaking its rules by "glorifying violence"
