Twitter to remove posts hoping for Trump's death
By Tal Axelrod - 10/02/20 08:28 PM EDT

Twitter warned Friday it will remove posts on its platform that wish for President Trump’s death after he announced he tested positive for COVID-19.

After reports initially surfaced that Twitter would suspend accounts that posted such messages, the company said the tweets would not merit immediate suspension, but would be swiftly removed.

“tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed and will need to be removed. this does not automatically mean suspension,” the platform tweeted from its communications account.

Ah. Virtue signalling an insult.

We are suppose to believe that those running Twitter are human.
What will they think of next?

Twitter must be reluctant to remove them. They (@jack)  agree with the sentiment, but don't want their fellow leftists to appear quite so subhuman.

Why not use an algorithm to filter them out so they don't get posted in the first place?

They're pretty swift about the algorithms when it comes to the other side, aren't they?   Just try to post anything about COVID on Bookface.  Posts get killed before they ever see the light of day.
