December, Twitter began enforcing new rules around violent and hateful content posted to its platform to reduce the amount of online abuse, hate speech, violent threats and harassment associated with its service.
"You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people," as per Twitter's rule about violent threats.
In response to Trump's threat on Twitter, the company earlier said that it had reviewed the case and "found that there was no violation of the Twitter rules against abusive behaviour".
Moreover, the rules do not apply to whatever Trump posts because of who he is and the "newsworthiness" of his statements, Twitter added.
In the latest blog post, the company said it reviews tweets by leaders within the political context that defines them, and enforce its rules accordingly.
"No one person's account drives Twitter's growth, or influences these decisions. We work hard to remain unbiased with the public interest in mind
