Twitter blocks Donald Trump post for copyright infringement

The post was retweeted on Saturday on Donald Trump's Twitter account and had a video of the campaign genre, which had originally been posted by Dan Scavino, director of social networks at the White House. The video included music from Linkin Park and was removed with the notification that the blockade followed a report for copyright infringement.

Twitter received notification of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act from the Machine Shop Entertainment, which manages the rights of Linkin Park, writes Reuters, referring to a notice published in the Lumen Database, which collects requests for removal of material online.

It is not the first time that Twitter has deleted Donald Trump video posts for copyright infringement. The social network began to flag some publications of the president as fake news in May and since that time there have been several situations in which it deleted, or classified, the published posts. Videos that appeal to violence and fake news were the arguments used, and in June a video was flagged as media manipulation by adding a footer to CNN images. A post with a photograph of Trump was later deleted for using an image by a New York Times photographer.

The president advanced in May with legislation that aims to be a "punishment" for social networks. The legal order did not take effect and faces several legal challenges, and as early as June, Donald Trump's executive order received the first court case for violating the US Constitution.

The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) sued the US President, saying the order is a violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. According to the lawsuit filed in the Washington DC district court, the non-profit organization indicates that Donald Trump's decision is retaliatory and that it attacks a private company, such as Twitter, for exercising a right established by the Constitution.
