Twitter has disabled a video features the campaign of US President Donald Trump mourning the death of George Floyd, pointing out to a copyright complaint.
Trump was speaking in the background of the video, which includes pictures and clips of protest marches and violent incidents after Floyd's death following his violent arrest.
Twitter said the video posted on the account of the president’s campaign was not consistent with its copyright policy.
“We respond to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives,” a Twitter representative said.
Last Friday, Twitter hid one of the president’s tweets saying it represents “glorifying violence”, amid escalating confrontation between Trump and Twitter about “freedom of expression.”
The US President was commenting on the riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as protests escalated after the death of black American citizen George Floyd, who appeared in a video struggling to catch his breath while a white police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck.
Trump warned, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,” President Donald Trump tweeted.
Twitter has posted a warning and hid Trump’s tweet that can no longer be liked or replied to. but can be accessed by clicking on the “view”.
Twitter said that this tweet violates Twitter’s rules on glorifying violence.
