Twitter’s new policy for holding powerful leaders to account for engaging in hate speech and harassment received its first major test this weekend when President Trump called on several Democratic members of Congress to “go back” to their countries — prompting widespread allegations of racism against women of color. Twitter said that the president’s tweets didn’t violate its policies, but independent researchers who study social media said they struggled to see why.
