According to Twitter’s Hateful Conduct policy (see https://support.twitter.com/articles/20175050, users “may not . . . attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.” So earlier this week, when President Donald Trump re-tweeted violent and misleadingly-identified Islamophobic videos (winning the praise of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke!) Twitter should simply have deleted them. By using his presidential pulpit to insinuate that millions of our Muslim neighbors — whose workplaces, schools, and voting booths we share — pose the same threat as an extremist Syrian ISIS follower, Trump abused his power and violated Twitter policy.
If you agree that Trump’s hateful re-tweets should be removed, you can write to:
Jack Dorsey, Chief Executive Officer Twitter 1355 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Or if you’re on Twitter, tweet directly at Jack Dorsey (@Jack) and his colleagues, and tell them to stop Trump from spreading hate speech.
