Twitter will add warning labels to tweets from world leaders that break its rules following years of public criticism and uncertainty around contentious posts from Donald Trump and other politicians.

On Thursday, the San Francisco-based company introduced a new policy for tweets from well known government officials that violate its policies on abuse, harassment, and violent threats. Instead of removing the violative posts, it will put them behind a warning notice. That notice will explain that a tweet was found to be in violation of Twitter’s policies, but has been allowed to remain on the platform because the company believes it to be in “the public’s interest.”

Wasn’t the internet invented by the government and paid for by the taxpayers?

DARPANET was the gummint's first use of a communications function like a crude internet {it was invented by al gore:)}.

Trump can start his own version or ‘Twitter’ and put them out of business.

.....”It is deliberate interference in the distribution of the content without explicitly banning it”......

Then they’re not accountable using a warning..

Naval Ravikant had an idea

for U. S. Postal email that would

carry similar penalties for tampering.

Maybe a version of that for Twitter.

....”allowed to remain on the platform because the company believes it to be in “the public’s interest.”.....

So they still decide what is of interest to the public.

The only thing I use it for is to say “Amen” to a lot of President Trump’s tweets and to slam certain liberal idiots...been waiting for my own “cease and desist” notice from them....
