war, will treat them in the language they understand.”
Twitter replaced the tweet with “This Tweet violated the Twitter
Rules. Learn More.”

a Twitter page containing reasons why a Twitter user and/or their
content may be sanctioned.
According to twitter: “When we determine that a Tweet violated
the Twitter rules, we require the violator to remove it before they
can Tweet again.
“We send an email notification to the violator identifying the
Tweet(s) in violation and which policies have been violated.
“They will then need to go through the process of removing the
violating Tweet or appealing our review if they believe we made an
error.”
