TwitterySafety censors President Trump, accusing him of threatening harm

For reference here's the actual tweet:

> There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!

On the scale of Trump statements, that's honestly pretty low on the threatening scale. If this is the battle that Twitter is choosing to fight, it's not going to end well.

> accusing him of threatening harm

> they will be met with serious force!

Sounds like it matches up.

Why would this not end well for Twitter? USC230 isn't going to be changed because of Trump complaining, outside of that Twitter isn't losing any followers by doing this, it generates more buzz on their platform.

One wonders if Twitter existed during WW2 if Franklin Roosevelt would have been censored for declaring war.

Or maybe called out on imprisoning Asian American citizens in their own country
