The language of Wolf’s letter seems to cover a potentially wide spectrum of online material, including “calls to break city curfews, information about which stores or neighborhoods to target for looting or destruction, and coordination of attacks against particular people or groups of people.”
Any takedowns of material should be “consistent with your terms of service,” Wolf wrote. “It is up to you to decide how to handle content on your platforms.”A Twitter spokesperson confirmed that the company had received the letter and intends to respond. A spokesperson for Snap, which runs Snapchat, declined to comment.

Will that include government Member's too?
Oh. Kind of like the censorship that Republicans are whining about.
Are they called the trump administration
💥They can't ban anyone!!!!😝
Pot meet kettle
Are they asking them to remove all of Donald Trump's tweets and Mike Pence also.. okay you know they are quite offencive
Vlad approves
Takes everyones right to free speach meaningless
The virus is the problem
They can start with Parler - the right wing platform for conspiracy theorists, racists, misogyny, nazi, Militia lunatics. Also many GOP are on there.
Like Proud Boys and Q?
challenge them in court
will they take down realDonaldTrump tweets down especially the ones that encourage violence
Oh my god what will these idiots think of next
Well no more ads for Trump rallies, then, guess we'll have to go back to leaflets.
Like protesting? 🤔🤔🤔
Oh no! Would my Looting and Shooting tweets will go down too? This is unacceptable!
So they'll finally ban Donald Trump?
They should make sure trump’s are the first to go!
Then I guess Trump won’t be able to put any ads out for his reelection.
Like Trumps posts?
Now this administration is furthering their divide and conquer strategy.
Big tech is the enforcer for the Leftists destroying America
They take everything else down. It was crazy to see how the rioters were coordinating on Twitter and warning of police coming and where to go next and then you’d see it on the new later.
Probably means anyone criticizing the President
good make it illegal it is the same as complicity in a crime.
Really, why not talk to this President and the Trumpalongs that are with him.
So the boogaloo and racist posts on Twitter? The violence inciting posts from Trump? Every day I can find posts on Twitter that promote racism and hate, but it sounds like they only want to target a specific group-protesters.
Are we going to start living 'Minority Report'?
Sounds like govt controlled censorship. And, who and by what measure would decide or determine what would be limited or removed? Seems very much Gestapo or Stazi.
If the people get censored he should too.
Odd he didn't mention Telegram, which appears to provide an unofficial clubhouse for white supremacists and anti-government activists.
DHSgov Get fucked.
This admin detests they constitution
Haha, they may want to rethink that after looking at Mango Unchained Twitter account. Calling BS
Does that include ICE and DHS?
'unusual request' Intelligent request made of social media to REMOVE criminal organizing posts that Social Media Platforms should have doing ALREADY.
so taking down all of trumps posts...
