Twitter co-founder and chief officer Jack Dorsey said he would 'certainly talk about' barring Donald Trump from the social networking site if the president provoked a violent threat.
HuffPost sat down with the 42-year-old Internet entrepreneur for a lengthy Q&A last week when Dorsey was asked how he would respond if Trump called on his followers to murder journalists.
Dorsey uttered in response: 'That would be a violent threat. We’d definitely... you know... we’re in constant communication with all governments around the world. So we’d certainly talk about it.'
Twitter users meanwhile have bombarded Dorsey with messages and tweets encouraging him to strip Trump's profile.

The Internet entrepreneur was asked how he would respond if Trump (pictured in Arlington, Virginia on Jan. 17) called on his followers to murder journalists. Dorsey said: 'We’d certainly talk about it'
'Donald Trump used his account to attack people's careers, incite violence, spread propaganda, push racism, and threaten war,' one wrote. 'His account should have been deleted a long time ago, @Twitter @jack. Please RT if you agree.'
'Trump got special privileges on Twitter because he's the president and it was obvious from the start,' another said.
'So if @realdonaldtrump specifically tweeted that each follower should kill one journalist, you'd "talk about" removing him? How does that possibly align with this commitment you've outlined?' another inquired.
Last month, Dorsey faced a social media firestorm over his 'disappointingly clueless' promotion of Myanmar - a country that has been accused of mass genocide of Rohingya Muslims.
In a series of tweets, Twitter's CEO encouraged his followers to visit the 'beautiful country'.
'The people are full of joy and the food is amazing. I visited the cities of Yangon, Mandalay, and Bagan. We visited and meditated at many monasteries around the country,' Dorsey wrote in a tweet that included a photo of himself in Myanmar.

Dorsey was seen dressed in all black while visiting the country and participating in a '10-day silent vipassana meditation'.
He said he was visiting Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar, for his birthday on November 19.
'I woke up at 4 am every day, and we meditated until 9 pm. There were breaks for breakfast, lunch, and walking. No dinner,' he tweeted.
Dorsey also shared a video of his favorite moment from the trip.
'The highlight of my trip was serving monks and nuns food, and donating sandals and umbrellas. This group of young nuns in Mandalay and their chanting was breathtaking and chilling.'
In the video, Dorsey was seen sitting in a circle with the nuns as they chant.
Last month, Dorsey faced a social media firestorm over his 'disappointingly clueless' promotion of Myanmar - a country that has been accused of mass genocide of Rohingya Muslims. He told HuffPost he would 'love to go back' and re-examine his trip
'Vipassana is not for everyone, but if any of this resonates with you even in the slightest, I'd encourage you to give it a try. If in the US, this center in Texas is a great start: https://siri.dhamma.org/,' he tweeted.
'And if you're willing to travel a bit, go to Myanmar.'
It didn't take long for Twitter users to call Dorsey out for his promotion of a country that has been accused of decades-long persecution of Rohingya Muslims.
'Jack, you are so disappointingly clueless. With everything going on in Myanmar right now, this is so out of touch. Next up: sightseeing in Yemen I guess [sic],' one Twitter user wrote.
Another said: 'A country ravaged by civil war, where a genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing recently saw tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children die, and a million more driven out into Bangladesh, one of the poorest nations on earth? I dunno.'
One user posed the question: 'Who will go for a tour where daily people are killed in genocide?? You are misleading people.'
When asked if he was surprised by how people reacted to the posts, Dorsey told HuffPost he was not - and that his intention was to simply share his delightful experience.
Dorsey added: 'I would love to go back and really understand that dynamic.
'I went for one particular reason which was meditation. And that’s what I was sharing, that one thing right. It wasn’t to represent Twitter.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
