Trump's Twitter Account Permanently Suspended
Former President Banned From Social Media Platform
Decision Made Due to Risk of Further Incitement of Violence
Twitter has permanently suspended the account of former President Donald Trump. The decision was made due to the risk of further incitement of violence following the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a statement, Twitter said, "After a close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence."
Trump has been an avid user of Twitter, often using the platform to communicate with his supporters and share his thoughts on current events. However, his tweets have also been criticized for being inflammatory and divisive.
The suspension of Trump's account is a major development in the ongoing debate over the role of social media companies in policing speech online. It remains to be seen how other social media platforms will respond to this decision.
