'Vague and unclear': Twitter rules Trump 'liberate' tweet doesn't violate coronavirus guidelines

Twitter ruled President Trump's tweet appearing to encourage residents to protest their state's stay-at-home orders did not violate the platform's coronavirus-specific guidelines.

A number of communities placed under strict stay-at-home orders have taken to the streets to protest in states like Michigan and New Jersey. The president weighed in on the protests on social media Friday morning, appearing to be on the side of the protesters to demand people in Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia "liberate" themselves and reopen their economies.

Twitter ruled the tweets don't specifically violate the platform's rules about the coronavirus pandemic, a spokeswoman for the platform told the Washington Examiner on Friday.

"The use of ‘liberate’ in the Tweets you referenced is vague and unclear, and not something that allows us to reliably infer harmful physical intent," the representative explained.

Oh please. I've had less offensive posts of mine pulled from Twitter.

1. I note they only discussed the "liberate" posts. I reported the one

with the reference to the 2nd amendment. It would be nice if they would view it differently.

4. Really.

How can a call to arms not violate their policy??

2. Vague and unclear is how he gives orders to his minions ask Michael Cohen.

3. It was the reference to the 2nd Amendment that crossed the line.

But Twitter thinks it has washed its hands of it, and ignored the actual offence, concentrating on the ambiguous part of "liberate". Trump hauled guns into his exhortation. That's where the "harmful physical intent" part is.

No matter how much they scrub, Twitter now has blood on its hands.
