    Twitter Takes 20 Hours to Remove Tweet Advocating Murder of ICE Agents

    Twitter Takes 20 Hours to Remove Tweet Advocating Murder of ICE Agents




    June 20, 2018


    Allum Bokhari

    Twitter allowed a tweet from the account of Occupy Wall Street NYC advocating the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to remain on the platform for over 20 hours, only deleting the tweet after Breitbart News reached out for comment.




    The image, entitled “What To Do If You Encounter An ICE Agent” advocated stabbing the agent, and ripping out his “still beating heart.”






    Twitter removed the tweet after Breitbart News reached out to the company’s press team for comment. A company spokeswoman said it is against the platform’s rules to make “specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.”


    Looking at the time-gap between the earliest and latest archives of the tweet reveals that it was allowed to remain on the platform for over 20 hours before the company took it down. The account of Occupy Wall Street NYC does not appear to have been sanctioned and continues to tweet as normal.


    Left-wing activists and celebrities are currently using Twitter to spread the personal information of ICE employees, a practice known as “doxing”, and are encouraging their followers to harass the children of ICE agents at school.

    WE SHOULD HACK THIS SYSTEM, GET THE ADDRESSES OF THE ICE AGENTS CBP AGENTS AND SURROUND THEIR HOMES IN PROTEST. WE SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT SCHOOLS THEIR CHILDREN GO TO AND SURROUND THE SCHOOLS IN PROTEST. THESE AGENTS ARE DOING THIS CUZ THEY WANT TO DO IT. THEY LIKE DOING THIS. F***

    — Peter Henry Fonda (@iamfonda) June 20, 2018

    Breitbart News has asked Twitter if the posts above are violations of their rules. This piece will be updated if Twitter responds.


    Twitter recently admitted that it artificially limits the visibility of some accounts on its platform, without notifying the users of said accounts, a practice known as “shadowbanning”. Conservatives and critics of progressivism are still routinely kicked off the platform, often for no other reason that presenting facts and political arguments, while left-wing accounts (like Occupy Wall Street NYC) are regularly allowed to flout the platform’s rules.


    In March, Twitter failed to respond as the daughters of Islam critic Pamela Geller were bombarded with abuse on the platform. Many of the abusive tweets remain published on the site, with the users responsible for them unbanned and unsanctioned.

    This is disgusting. If that's not communicating a threat, I don't know what is. Someone needs to go directly to jail!

    Yeah, one thing to post remarks because we are all fed up and frustrated...but to go to the lengths of professional graphic brochures is out of control.

    When something like this is allowed, yet lesser right-wing comments are immediately banned, it demonstrates bias. I think the CEO should be prosecuted for the actions, or failure to act, by his/her company. I bet they would get real neutral very quickly!

    During the Congressional Hearings Mark Zuckerberg said his company had contacted "Diamond & Silk" and reinstated their page. But even the next day it apparently still was blocked and they said they had not been contacted by the company. As CEO he should have been jailed for lying. That would give executives the incentive to rid their companies of employees that are likely to get them jailed. Fining a company just doesn't do it. Some human is responsible and should be held accountable.

    Their family was "demented" back to Viet Nam.

    The symptoms were there and ignored...it's a fact of decades leading up to it.
