BREAKING NEWS: TWITTER PERMANENTLY SUSPENDS DONALD TRUMP'S HANDLE
NEWS - Posted on: 9th Jan. 2021 at 2:25AM
Owner of the social media platform, Twitter has announced the permanent suspension of President Donald Trump's Twitter handle, @realDonaldTrump, citing fear of further incitement to violence.
The company said this on Friday evening, after the outgoing US president resumed tweeting after an earlier temporary blocking of his account.
In its official statement, Twitter says:
"After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence..."
"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action."
Donald Trump has over 88 million Twitter followers which he had used as his major means of communication, not only to the American people but the aides and White house staff. Trump has lost this platform and privilege.
No official statement from Donald Trump yet on this suspension. It is expected that he would be using the white House official handle if he had anything to say, but this time it would be censored.
