BREAKING NEWS: Twitter will slap WARNING LABELS on 'abusive' tweets from politicians and limit how many people see them in new policy rolled out just one day after Trump accused platform of censoring him
Trump could be the main target of a new Twitter policy that slaps warning labels on politicians' tweets that fall into a number of subjective 'abuse' categories
Users will have to click on a disclaimer to see or read them, and Twitter will ensure they don't go viral by depressing their circulation
Trump warned 24 hours ago in a Fox Business Network interview that Twitter was a Democrat-friendly company that actively tried to minimize his voice
He famously called Omorosa Managault-Newman a 'dog' and a 'crazed, crying lowlife,' and branded porn actress Stormy Daniels a 'Horseface' on Twitter
In another tweet he depicted himself as a pro wrestler attacking an opponent labeled 'CNN'
Twitter prohibits messages that 'promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people' on the basis of protected characteristics
Those include 'race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease'
Twitter has begun placing virtual warning labels on politicians' messages that it would ban as offensive if the identity of their authors didn't automatically make them matters of public interest.
The move, announced Thursday, came barely 24 hours after President Donald Trump accused the social media platform's leaders of censoring him in a bid to limit the circulation of his ideas.
Twitter's 'safety' team wrote in a blog post that when office-holders or candidates posted material that 'violated our rules' in the past, it often chose to ignore the problem in the interest of poliical free speech.

Dear President Trump: Drop Twitter.
WrongTHINK
Time to de-FAANG the monsters in Silicon Valley.
Time to Nationalize Twitter.
Trump TV & Social Media, Inc. is calling.
Transparent plan to censor Trump and any other effective communicator of conservative messaging.
The moment they censor a Trump tweet the offices of Twitter should be raided by every three-letter agency in Washington.
Twitter - as well as Google, Facebook, etc. Need to be regulated as the public monopolies they are and be brought to task for their liberal censorship agendas.
It’s time to use RICO to shut Twitter down for good.
Make an example out of them.
The first direct, overt action taken by big tech to deny Trump the 2020 election. they are PACs.
This is going to make Twitter look Stupid!
Just as the Clown Party kick off their campaigns.
Who cares?
As long as they don’t remove them, it doesn’t matter.
Trump-hate knows no bounds for these idiots.
I just noticed it also said they will limit who can see them. That is not reasonable.
Any tweet regarding slavery reparations is EXTREMELY anti-white!!!
In another tweet he depicted himself as a pro wrestler attacking an opponent labeled ‘CNN’
Twitter prohibits messages that ‘promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people’ on the basis of protected characteristics

This reporting itself is a flat out lie. Trump reposted a meme animated gif based on WWF wrestling. AKA, a joke.
Of course Leftists don’t do humor.
I’m guessing anything Maxine Waters says won’t be so labeled.
“Dear President Trump: Drop Twitter.“
************************************
Hell no! We never yield on the battlefield; the Leftists would love that.
Drop Twitter, switch to Parley, Twitter evaporates, everybody will learn the lesson.
All Trump has to do is announce he will be posting on another site from now on. His followers would move. And others would move to be on the same site as Trump. And that site will quickly become the new number one site for posts.
