Twitter flags US politician’s tweet on Antifa for promoting violence

Twitter on Monday flagged a tweet related to Antifa from Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a close political ally of the United States (US) President.

The social media platform added a warning label to the tweet limiting the content since it seems to violate the platform’s policy and promotes violence.

The tweet in question read, “Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?”

Twitter has hidden the tweet adding a warning label that reads, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.’
