Twitter says Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha cops ‘not in violation’ of rules
NY Post ^ | August 26, 2020 | 4:42pm | Steven Nelson

A Twitter spokesman says activist and accused fraudster Shaun King’s threat to name Kenosha, Wisc., police officers is “not in violation” of its rules — including its ban on “a threat of harm against an identifiable group,” a rule used to censor President Trump.

King tweeted Tuesday that the Kenosha Police Department must “name the officer” who shot Jacob Blake, or “we will simply begin naming officers from your department who may or may not be him.”

The former Daily News columnist has 1.1 million followers and the tweet was widely criticized as a threat against officers uninvolved in the Sunday incident. King — who found notoriety for numerous outlandish claims in support of the Black Lives Matter movement — has repeatedly praised rioters and has called for full defunding of the police.

But a Twitter spokesman told The Post Wednesday, “The Tweet you referenced is currently not in violation of the Twitter Rules.”

The spokesperson directed a reporter to information on Twitter’s policy against posting personal information, such as home addresses and contact information, and against glorifying violence, such as by celebrating violent crimes like mass-murder.

The Twitter rep did not explain how King’s tweet complies with a platform rule against “a threat of harm” against “an identifiable group,” which was used to censor Trump. They simply said of King’s posting: “That tweet is not in violation of any of the Twitter Rules.”

Because Shaun King is of the protected color tribe. Wait, no he isn’t. This is so confusing.

The only reason I have Twitter is to easily view Trump tweets. Twitter is the worst of the worst people on the internet.

How did aging white man Shaun King come to be BLM’s master?

“DOXing Twitter execs is probably okay too, then?”

What would they care? What the hell is our side going to do to them, maybe put Evangelical fliers under their car’s windshield wipers?

Getting tired of these publicity-seeking racists like Shaun King (whoever he is).

well since no one asked... from wiki, jack (nb. probably john since catholic) patrick dorsey (born nov. 9, 1976 to tim and marcia dorsey of st. louis, mo, catholic faith) lives in the seacliff area of San francisco and takes his dogs on walks around there. his exact street address should not be difficult to track down, if anyone finds, please feel free to post. i think some reciprocity is fair play. right... jack? (i will answer for jack: no problem! nothing wrong with doxxing me! my company would see nothing wrong with doxxing you all! mwah, peace and love!)

... extortion, actually. If a federal prosecutor had a wild hair, they could throw mail/wire fraud in there, too.

“Notable residents that have at one point owned property here include ... Bay Area tech bigwigs like Twitter and Square founder and CEO and billionaire Jack Dorsey, who reportedly paid a collective $30 million for two homes next door to each other, both nestled into a cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean.”

so to find our favorite CEO Jack, we just need to find two homes side by side in seacliff worth about $15m each. anyone can look at sf real estate property titles. or at least could before the bug.

...also, since a direct threat to dox was made, in this climate, intent can be proven. and if harm came to an officer, twitter with that statement could be held at least partially libel.

I have video of a prosecutor talking about how sometimes they are evil in court and get giddy when the sherif arrests people on court. Bet if I posted that along with her name it would be take right down.

It goes both ways but I suspect if certain personal information of the left were put out, a different outcome would happen. I wish our side had azzholes like the left does. Fvk the rules;there are no rules anymore.

“Currently” not in violation? So Shawn Whitebread may threaten to out some cops, but if he actually follows thru, that *might* be a violation? What kind of Navy are you running over at Twitter?
