		</div><p>Twitter has taken action against another of Donald Trump’s tweets, this time hiding one from view because it breaks site rules around glorifying violence.</p>
<p>A warning label has been placed over a tweet by the US president related to the protests in the city of Minneapolis after the death of a black man in police custody.</p>
<p>Mr Trump had said he would “<i>send in the National Guard</i>” to end the protests, before adding in a second tweet that “<i>when the looting starts, the shooting starts</i>”.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I can’t stand back &; watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard &; get the job done right&#8230;..</p>

<p>That second tweet has now been covered with a message from Twitter which says it violates the site’s rules around glorifying violence, with users now required to click on the message in order to see the tweet.</p>
<p>It comes after the social media site added fact-checking labels to two Trump tweets earlier this week after the president made unsubstantiated claims about postal voting in the US.</p>
<p>In response, the president accused social media sites of censorship and being biased against him and other conservatives.</p>
<p>On Thursday, Mr Trump signed an executive order which aimed to remove some of the legal protections given to social media platforms in the US.</p>
<p>Twitter said the order was a political move which attacked free speech.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">This EO is a reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Section230?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Section230</a> protects American innovation and freedom of expression, and it’s underpinned by democratic values. Attempts to unilaterally erode it threaten the future of online speech and Internet freedoms.</p>

<p>“<i>This EO is a reactionary and politicised approach to a landmark law</i>,” the company said in a statement.</p>
<p><i>“#Section230 protects American innovation and freedom of expression, and it’s underpinned by democratic values.</i></p>
<p><i>“Attempts to unilaterally erode it threaten the future of online speech and Internet freedoms.</i>”</p>
<p>It is currently unclear what impact the executive order will have on Twitter and wider social media use around the world.</p>
