Twitter refuses to block world leaders, so Trump can keep tweeting

Twitter announced Friday afternoon that it will not block or delete controversial tweets from world leaders, in what appeared to be a thinly veiled response to President Trump’s recent taunt of North Korea and its nuclear weapons and missile programs.

“Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should be able to see and debate,” a statement from the social media company said. “It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.”
