Jack Dorsey called representative Omar to explain why Twitter was not removing the September 11 Trump video.

According to the Washington Post, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey called Republican Ilhan Omar earlier this week to discuss a recent tweet by President Trump that a Muslim congressman has reportedly received death threats. Tuesday's call comes two weeks after the President of the United States tweeted a video summarizing Omar's background comments about September 11 with the video of the Twin Towers of the day. The April 12 video was an inducement and many read Trump's message loud and clear, bomb the first member of Congress threatened with death.

"Omar lobbied Dorsey to explain why Twitter had not removed Trump's tweet," sources told the post. Dorsey said the president's tweet did not violate the company's rules. "the fact that the tweet and video have already been viewed and shared well beyond the site." Dorsey, as Twitter often does, went on to say that it was complicated, but that he was trying to to do better, yada yada.

Vice's motherboard, reports Thursday, that at a plenary meeting at Twitter last month, an employee working on artificial intelligence issues, answered a question about hate content, explaining why the Site algorithms had been able to effectively filter the propaganda of the Islamic State, but had failed to eradicate the white supremacist speech on the platform. The employee went on to explain that "Twitter has not adopted the same aggressive approach to white supremacist content, because affected collateral accounts can, in some cases, be Republican politicians," according to Motherboard. "The employee argued that, technically, the content of Republican politicians could be swept away by algorithms aggressively suppressing white supremacist material."
