I said it yesterday and got downvotes, Twitter’s CEO decided to pick sides in the political battle so they should expect what’s coming to them.
Fact checking doesn't imply picking sides. Not fact checking does.
And they're not fact checking Biden.

Re: Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
#32It's interesting Twitter finally started taking a stand in Trump's last year as president, I wonder if it's because they hope he'll get ousted and they won't have to deal with the backlash from him for too long. Or it's just a marketing ploy, perhaps customer count was falling.
I'm not trying to valorize Jack, but why is it so hard to believe they just finally feel some level of responsibility? While you should always keep an eye out for more banal motivations, at some point one can only tolerate so much.

#33The service that hosts the accounts of all branches of the US military, all major weapons contractors, all three letter agencies, and many foreign militaries, governments, and world leaders guilty of all manner of war crimes, and this is where they draw the line for violence. Really interesting.
The president is the most visible face of the government. Of all the ones you mentioned, it's the only one people actually vote for. What he says and does has the most impact. So I don't find it "interesting", I find it entirely reasonable.

#34I'm a bit surprised that this fight with the POTUS doesn't have a stronger influence on Twitter's stock value.
He's not moving anywhere and any Twitter controversy gets more people to tweet about that controversy... Until he forces a significant part of his followers to leave, it's not a bad situation for Twitter to be in.
> He's not moving anywhere...
If they're going to block his tweets, why wouldn't Trump go elsewhere? It'll be interesting to see what he does do next.

> when the looting starts, the shooting starts. What part of this isn't?
It doesn't unequivocally say that at all. It can reasonably be interpreted as: "once people are willing to break the law and start looting, it's not long before there are also people shooting" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

This is not a reasonable interpretation of the president's words. The previous tweet said that the military is standing by. There can be no mistake: Trump is saying that he will order the US military to kill Americans.

#36I couldn't care less for the politics of the USA, but it is mildly amusing that twitter are trolling one of their most prominent users.
...and a particularly thinly skinned user.

Does not wanting your government to shoot US citizens count as choosing a side now?
