In a thread on its Public Policy page, the company said it had been asked why it didn’t take down Trump’s tweet in light of its rule reading: “You may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism.”

“We hold all accounts to the same rules, and consider a number of factors when assessing whether Tweets violate our Rules,” the company said. “Among the considerations is ‘newsworthiness’ and whether a Tweet is of public interest.”
