Twitter has suspended Trump’s account.
After all this time? Why not several years ago?
Oh, so there is a limit to which Twitter will accept him as a user?
Good. He has lost his main avenue to speak to his supporters now.
Trump’s final tweets.
His account is still showing up on my Twitter at the moment, but I get a message that indicates the account doesn’t exist. That’s how I first knew his account had been terminated.
Parler, the extreme right social media chat app and website, has been removed from the Google Play Store. Trump will no doubt still be posting on Parler.
Trump’s banned on Facebook and Instagram too. The POTUS and VP accounts becomes Biden’s after the Inauguration.
It’s amazing that the outlets who’ve given him and his supporters oxygen for so long are only now getting all righteous about what they’ve been happy to publish for so long.
While it’s good that Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been permanently suspended, this really should’ve happened some time ago.
Looks like Apple could follow suit.
Yeah it just seems like a publicity stunt now.
It’s the same with the people resigning. While better late then never it’s too late. You can’t support this guy for 4 years and then leave 2 weeks before the end while trying to claim the moral high ground.
Damage control.
Twitter removed Trump’s Tweet from the @POTUS handle
I suspect it was that they were afraid of the consequences of deplatforming him - it shouldnt have taken until the last fortnight of his presidency
The Team Trump account has now been suspended after it posted the same tweets.
All those fox types arguing this is a silencing of free speech are wrong… Twitter is a private company and can do whatever it likes in terms of blocking people.
And repealing section 230 will only make it worse for the right wing nutters as it would force these social media companies to “edit” posts out of fear of being sued so again another flawed argument.
NBC news, which rarely weighs into charged social issues, ran a report on the policing double standards.
