This, apparently, engendered the permanent suspension of Trump’s Twitter account. The big tech platform stated that they believe recent, post-12-hour-ban tweets from Trump pose a threat for more violence. Twitter alleged that because Trump’s tweets “could” be interpreted in manners that encourage violence from his supporters, leaving his account up poses too great a risk.
As of today, the 45th president of the United States is disallowed from using Twitter. Facebook and Instagram appear poised to follow suit, seeing as they’ve banned Trump from using their platforms “indefinitely.
