Why Twitter Won't Take Down Donald Trump's Tweet Which North Korea Called War by Ozdibaba(op): 9:35am On Sep 26, 2017

Twitter clarified on Monday why it did not take down a tweet by President Donald Trump which threatened North Korea, saying that it was newsworthy.

Over the weekend, Trump tweeted that North Korea "won't be around much longer." It appeared to amount to a threat. The company's policy says that users "may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism."

Trump's tweet was taken as a declaration of war by North Korea. The rogue state's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said: "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country."
