Twitter actually testified three weeks ago about this precise issue and how they will now handle. They just need to do it. Watch... And then read @karaswisher column below. (I disagree on her solution btw).
I only disagree with @karaswisher on deleting these types of post. They can, as private platforms, but we would prefer they don’t censor. The solution described in the testimony will act as strong counterspeech and entirely remove velocity and reach benefits of social media.
And to be clear, none of this is a 1st amendment issue in terms of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram although they would like it to be and trolls will claim it is. They are private platforms and can delete anything they want as they are consistent with their posted policies.
ps video at top was from @CommonsDCMS hearing. Twitter exec asked questions by chair @julianknight15 specifically about world leaders’ tweets including @realDonaldTrump. Glad that he asked and that @karaswisher raised public attention on Twitter to actually act. This all matters.
