On Tuesday, for the first time, Twitter set a warning flag for two of the president's posts, a signal to follow on the veracity of the content.
Presidential order against social media
On Thursday, Donald Trump enforced his former threat to Twitter by signing a presidential order on social media that will no longer protect him from legal sanctions, according to the president. Twitter responds by calling the action "reactionary and politicized".
In connection with the signing, President Twitter's fact checking calls "undue political activism," according to Reuters.
Blocked post on the platform
Donald Trump has criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and especially how the city handled the violent protests after a man named George Floyd died after being subjected to violence in connection with a police raid.
After the incident became known, the city's mayor Jacob Frey said: "Being black in the United States should not be a death sentence."
Now, Twitter has blocked one of Donald Trump's posts about Minneapolis. Instead, one can read that “this Tweet violates Twitter's glorification of violence. However, Twitter has deemed it in the public interest that this Tweet continues to be accessible ”.
