People want Trump banned from Twitter after he threatened nuclear war

[Soph0571]

Twitter seems to think that Donald Trump's latest provocative tweet, which many argue threatens nuclear war, is absolutely fine.

Twitter defended its decision not to act on Donald Trump's tweet as a violation of its guidelines, despite the President claiming in the tweet that he had a "nuclear button" that is "bigger and more powerful" than Kim Jong Un's.

Twitter has said that Trump's tweet doesn't violate its terms of service because it does not amount to a "specific threat", according to Business Insider.

This is outlined in Twitter's policy:

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.

1. Twitter is shit

[cstanleytech]

3. Maybe its time to boycott their advertisers? Maybe then the will actually enforce their

rules and clean the site up of the garbage?

8. Why not boycott Twitter itself?

[JDC]

11. Agreed

If Twitter/Tweets wasn't presented to me here or in the news, it would not exist for me. I have an account, but I have never tweeted once. I cannot stand it as a medium or communications tool.

13. Because the goal is to get them to change and clean it up so

going to the advertisers who have the ability to put more pressure on the owners of twitter can accomplish that better than just boycotting twitter would.

7. All the bots and MAGAts have turned Twitter into an unflushable toilet.

It's a stinking mess. Every time I'm on Twitter, I find it's sewer-like qualities exceedingly distasteful and downright depressing.

2. I think there should be a gigantic protest outside Twitter HQ in San Francisco.

A few people had the right idea last year. Let's make it bigger!

4. Once Trump is gone...

...can we make Twitter and Facebook illegal?

(sarcasm, of course)

They both suck and have divided and diminished our country.

5. I'm not so sure...

They both suck and have divided and diminished our country.

Although that's probably true, I suspect that social media has revealed our country to be divided and diminished as much as it's caused that division.

6. Best case ever for banning. That Twitter won't

is also an excellent example of what it means to be powerful. Wonder what the effects on our nation, and Twitter, would be if he was banned for cause, though. Aside from trumpsters going nuclear on every social medium including Twitter, of course.

Twitter is planetwide, but Congress and the executive branch are controlled by Republicans. What could they do to it?

10. Although, can you *imagine* the meltdown?

If 45's favored mouthpiece decided to block him until he deleted that tweet?

He probably would hit the "bring me a diet coke" button that's actually on his desk so many times in retaliation. Cause his button *works*.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-does-have-a-button-on-his-desk-but-its-not-for-nukes/article/2644807

The presence of a button on Trump's desk in the Oval Office was revealed last year.

According to Trump himself, the button orders a valet to bring him a Diet Coke, not order the launch of a nuclear missile.

“No no, everyone thinks it is,” the Financial Times' Demetri Sevastopulo said was Trump's response when jokingly asked if it orders a nuclear missile strike.

“Everyone does get a little nervous when I press that button,” Trump reportedly added. Trump reportedly drinks 12 Diet Cokes a day.
