The White House
@WhiteHouse
The President did not glorify violence. He clearly condemned it.

@Jack
and Twitter's biased, bad-faith "fact-checkers" have made it clear: Twitter is a publisher, not a platform.

Anyone know what it would take to get Twitter labeled a publisher?

Question:

Twitter becomes publisher
Liable for users speech
Do they have legal grounds for civil action against the user who made the defamatory/slanderous post?

No one has clearly stated what the actual process is though to revoke 230 status.

And does publishing Iranian officials violate sanctions and constitute doing business illegally?

That's the funny part.

No one has to label them as a publisher. They do it to themselves already.

Probably the 318 million active Twitter users before he became president. Y’all act like he invented social media.

Dude, have you not been paying attention. You can call yourself whatever you want now.

While there are several, LOL if you think it is that many.

Twitter is on the the final ride as Gen Z comes into their on. Same goes for Facebook, which is a cesspool of Boomers, GenX and GenY.

They should add a defense and indemnification clause to the TOS. Go after solvent users who get them sued

All of this going on and the irony is, if not for Trump, Twitter likely would have died off years ago.

It was on the ropes and his prominence on it, being the largest followed in the US, and the amount of talk around it has fueled its resurgence.
