7/ New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence.
So Twitter is finally going to ban Trump?

Ban Nazis. Ban serial harassers. Ban people doxxing other people. Ban people threatening people. It is not fucking difficult.
I assumed this was the reason for the tweet.

They knew who the Nazis are as its already on their system and censored in Germany. Shouldve just banned them on time
Yeah, partially my take on that.
They won't do shit.
No, that's definitely on purpose. He said it himself.

Get rid of the Grand Dragon Trumps account and every bot that retweets along with the scum that idolize him and then I'll beleive it.

Way too late.
I only read a couple of Twitter feeds via RSS so I haven't been keeping up with the controversy there too closely, but I was really surprised to learn today that Twitter has a special flag for Actual Nazis that they use to filter them out in compliance with German and French law. Hopefully enforcing this filter everywhere is one of the changes.

Yes, because his presence puts their site's name on the news every single day

He wasn't alone.
well see
Yup. Expecting groups like BLM to be lumped into "hate groups" while white supremacists are labeled as "controversial political activists."
Too little, too late. Twitter has very little useful function outside of major disasters, and even during the current hurricanes and fires you never hear about its use. The only reason he's making a statement is because he knows most of the new users are bots, and a ton of actual live users have deactivated their accounts.
Twitter is becoming much like Reddit, a great place to spread hate but no real use for most people. Combined with the continuing financial boondoogle, I wouldn't be surprised to see this hasten their demise.

To think they have to have a meeting about the obvious. All they have to do is pretend posters are like their employees and follow the rules any employer does, you know like the obvious!

inb4 women deemed a hate group.
"Dem Nazis weren't violent until Anteeefaaa showed up!" - some shithead
Ugh, why are tech companies universally bad at PR. Ignoring the fact theyve been ignored the cesspool until it goes viral with a celeb; when the Rose vs Harvey thing went down and they banned her account all that was needed was an immediate unban, apologies all around, and a statement similar to this within a couple of hours of the ban.
In their case they took forever to unban her and gave a shitty ass legal-ese explanation on the reasons why because theyve got no real leadership or plan (despite these commandments) and were stuck in a zillion meetings figuring out what to do next while the narrative became they were pro-hollywood rape (which thy arent, but considering how shitty they are at making these calls might as well be) and here we are today with a boycott and limp dick corporate response.
With people exposing the abuse they recieved primarily on twitter and instagram this week should have been a win for social media. Instead, silicon valley found a way to fuck it up.

So they're going to ban the account of noted racist sexist hatemonger Donald Trump, who is currently making headlines for throwing the support of the most powerful office in the country behind an anti-LGBT hate group?
Yep.
