Twitter <\/a> took its latest action on content from President Trump Tuesday, again hiding a threat of state violence behind a warning label and appending it with a notice.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s latest offending tweet<\/a> declared \u201cThere will never be an \u2018Autonomous Zone\u2019 in Washington, D.C., as long as I\u2019m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!\u201d The tweet follows a clash between protesters and law enforcement Monday night in Lafayette Square near the White House.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group.https:\/\/t.co\/AcmW6O6d4t<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter says the tweet violated its rules prohibiting threats of harm against groups of people, a form of \u201cabusive behavior\u201d on the social network. The company said that it will allow the tweet to remain up, though has restricted the ability of users to interact with it, including likes, replies and retweets without comment.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Twitter declined to act on a different tweet<\/a> from the president that made false claims about mail-in voting and the \u201cRIGGED 2020 ELECTION.\u201d That tweet was not specific enough to cross the line for breaking platform rules around election integrity \u2014 a policy we\u2019ll certainly be hearing more about.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, the president has frequently derided the city of Seattle for allowing protesters to create a police-free area, returning to the topic to stoke fear and anger within his political base. After police abandoned a station in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Seattle demonstrators moved into the area declaring it an \u201cautonomous zone.\u201d The autonomous zone \u2014 and the president\u2019s latest threat \u2014 grew out of national civil rights protests against police brutality and racist violence after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd late last month.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s tweet is the latest in what may become many examples of Twitter enforcing its platform rules against the president. In the past, the company rarely acted to enforce its policies on tweets from high-profile U.S. politicians<\/a>, Trump included.<\/p>\n

Over\u00a0the last month, Twitter shifted to a much more active approach to its moderation responsibilities for political figures.\u00a0In late May, Twitter ignited a political firestorm when it flagged two of the president\u2019s tweets<\/a> making false claims about vote-by-mail systems in California, leading to a retaliatory executive order<\/a> from Trump days later. In the early days of the George Floyd protests, the company hid another tweet<\/a> from the president that threatened lethal violence against protesters.<\/p>\n
