Twitter slaps another warning label on Trump tweet about force

> Twitter hid one of President Trump’s tweets on Tuesday with a warning label — the fifth tweet from the president that the social media company has labeled in the past several weeks.

> Twitter said the tweet violates its policy prohibiting abusive behavior and specifically “the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group.” The tweet says “There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!”

To me this type of censorship does not make sense. The law is the law, and crimes have consequences. These autonomous zones constitute theft of public property and illegal assembly, and should be shut down. Such actions typically require force, and it is OK to make clear that there are consequences to these criminal actions.

I do not view this statement as abusive behavior. If it were, then Twitter is implicitly claiming that a tweet like "Terrorists will be met with serious force" is also abusive behavior. Or "The Chinese government's abuse of Uyghurs will be met with serious force" would also be abusive behavior.

Lastly, on Twitter I also see various videos and notes that glorify rioting or violence against police or other criminal activity and they're not censored. This comes off to me as further evidence that big tech platforms are indeed politically biased and unfit to operate such large platforms.
