Presumably with prolific tweeter President Trump in mind, Twitter announced Thursday it will censor the messages of prominent government officials by “down-ranking” any that violate the social-media company’s rules.
Offending messages sent by verified political candidates and government officials with more than 100,000 followers will be flagged with a notice, the company said.
Users who want to view a flagged tweet will need to click on a notice that says: “The Twitter Rules about abusive behavior apply to this Tweet. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain available.”
