Senator Steve Daines hunting photo: Twitter Temporarily Suspends Sen. Steve Daines' Account Over Hunting Photo
Twitter suspended and then restored Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines' account over a profile picture that showed the lawmaker posing with his wife while hunting.
The photo shows the pair with a dead antelope that has tiny specks of blood, an image that Twitter initially said violated its rules against posting "graphic violence," according to a press release from the senator. The company defines graphic violence as content that includes depictions of "bodily fluids including blood." Twitter suspended Daines' account on Monday night before restoring it on Tuesday, his office said.
