Twitter briefly restricts Trump’s disputed election tweets
Illustration by Alex Castro It looked like Twitter was adding further restrictions to President Trump's Twitter account on Saturday, as some users noticed the ability to like, retweet or reply to his tweets with disputed" labels was not working. Copying the URL to one of the disputed tweets also appeared to be disabled, and quote-tweets were not appearing in search results.
Some users were able to access and like Trump's tweets - several Verge staffers confirmed they could engage with disputed" tweets by clicking through the warning label- but others on Twitter could not.
OK Based on my probing, for Trumps election fraud tweets:
- like, RT, reply, copy URL actions are disabled
- all counts disabled
- quote tweets allowed, if you click through warning
- maybe...
