“This Tweet is not available because it includes potentially sensitive content,” the warning reads.

“It literally said “Great news from CNBC no less,'” Trump wrote, “(retweeting) Drudge on Econ Confidance (sic).”

“(What the hell) is sensitive about that?” he wondered.

Drudge linked to a CNBC story about rising economic confidence in the Trump era.
I have seen a lot of tweets hidden as sensitive. I try to read them and it still won't let me. What is this about, what is exactly 'sensitive' on Twitter?

If the Trump's REALLY wanted to make that money off of dad being President, they would hire a team and create an app to compete with Twitter and destroy Twitter.


Obviously all of Trump's supporters would join , but so would his detractors, noway they are missing out on what Trump has to say. The hilarity of them having to use HIS app to see his messages would be awesome.

Yet another example of social media attempting to censor non-progressive views on their platform.

somewhat liberal, can view the tweet. I would suspect that someone reported it and twitter auto set it to sensitive.

Here is an example

This tweet is unavailable because it contains sensitive material.

Here is what was removed



How is this "sensitive"?

They said it was sensitive not insensitive. There's a difference, especially in context.

And good on Twitter. Trumps tweets should be vetted before released. Twitter has a responsibility here that they can't ignore.

I will ask again... why should this be removed as sensitive? Why should this be removed from Twitter-period?

I don't think it should. But all of his tweets should be vetted before released.

Either way, Twitter is privately owned and can managed content as it sees fit.

If while hooked up to a lie detector, you were asked “are you a fascist”, and you responded “no”, I have no doubt the device would spontaneously combust.

Fine. I'd certainly consider it a wake up call. But then again, I have a fully developed frontal lobe and have a fairly keen sense of right and wrong.

You have no fricking clue what that means.

If the government owned twitter AND censored, that would be fascism. I'm for an open market where owners can control their service. Like no shoes no shirt no service. Cuck.

What is right and wrong? Democrats are right and non democrats are wrong? You are so damned brilliant, Deg. We simply are not worthy of your mere presence. Please post some more brilliance.

I’ve been censored on social media. It’s survivable.
