There's a such thing as good violence?
Well, self defense is a generally accepted case of good violence.
Antifa acts in self-defense? what a joke

> Nobody has ever held Trump accountable for anything. Hilariously, Twitter holds a lot of power over Trump due to controlling his popular account. They could hold him accountable. They choose not to. Insane. Trump is the elected president of USA, one of the most important country on Earth. The fact that you suggest a private company should police his speak is insane to me.
To those downvoting me, do you think CNN, BBC and all major news outlets should only report what Trump does, but never actually show a video of him speak to deny him a platform?
Twitter is not journalism. And as you yourself have pointed out, Trump is one of the most powerful people on earth—meaning he has at his disposal more platforms than any of us can even dream of. Twitter can no more "police his speech" than I can police all of Facebook.
What Twitter can do is decide they don't want Trump to be an active member of their community. That is not just within their legal rights; it's well within their moral rights too.

Should twitter also ban the accounts of the president of Russia and the president of China, because of their support of policies which violate human rights? (LGBT, Tibet, democracy, the list is long, pick your favorite).
What about the account of Barack Obama, who supported extra-judicial drone killings of US citizens?

Twitter isn't news, it's social media. I'm perfectly okay with private organizations policing their own content, especially when hosting that content has costs.

#55This is going to be fun. > Accounts that affiliate with organizations that use or promote violence against civilians > Content that glorifies violence or the perpetrators of a violent act. * "Support our troops" * "Punch a Nazi" * Basically any enthusiastic history account. * Mall ninjas. * Any action movie/tv property. * Star Wars. * UFC It seems almost puritan to try and deny humanity's love of violence. > If an ac…

#56"Content that glorifies violence or the perpetrators of a violent act. This includes celebrating any violent act in a manner that may inspire others to replicate it" Does this apply to videos of NFL tackles? Videos of NFL tackles glorify violence and glorify the tackler (the perpetrator of a violent act).
So, no talking about World War 2 and the Greatest Generation then.
Re: Enforcing New Rules to Reduce Hateful Conduct and Abusive Behavior
#57I've gone through and reported a number of accounts that seem to violate this policy after the announcement and made note of the usernames and if they were a left wing or right wing organization. I'm curious to see if this will be enforced equally.
I don't think it's quite equal as there is a clause about protected groups. So I imagine that some abuse can be allowed if the target is not protected. Edits, worth pointing out that the link to the policy in depth adds an "or" to the clause in a less ambiguous way
I'm not sure what a protected group is, whether there's a list somewhere, of it's all relative (who holds more 'power' is less protected)?

If they're contributing to or creating an atmosphere Twitter doesn't want on their service, then yes, why not?
