#Twitter censures Trump tweet on DC ‘Autonomous Zone’

Twitter took action against another tweet from President Trump Tuesday — this time for warning that protesters trying to establish a cop-free zone in Washington, DC would be met with “serious force.”

The move comes after the social media giant began policing and censoring its most prolific user earlier this year, garnering backlash from both the president and free speech advocates.

“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!,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The flag applied by Twitter Tuesday claims the president’s remarks violate the social media giant’s rules about “abusive behavior” — the third such move by the platform in recent months.

“We’ve placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our policy against abusive behavior, specifically, the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group,” wrote Twitter, explaining the decision.

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!

The tweet is still available on Trump’s feed but is obstructed by the warning and prevented from being liked or retweeted.

Last month, Twitter flagged one of Trump’s tweets with a public interest notice — claiming his statement, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts” violated its policies pertaining to “the glorification of violence.”

The social media giant also previously labeled missives from Trump about mail-in ballots as promoting misinformation and removed a video posted to one of his reelection accounts for infringing copyright.

The moves have infuriated the White House, with Trump signing an executive order weakening liability protections for social media companies.
