Now, Twitter CEO
Jack Dorsey is opening up about the decision and the ramifications of banning the president from the platform.
Clearly, Donald Trump and Twitter had a very tumultuous relationship. Over the years, various tweets from the president were slapped with warning labels and largely scrutinized by the public.
Then, last week, the social media platform had enough. Trump’s account was initially suspended for 12 hours after violating Twitter’s civic liberty policy. However, after Trump returned and posted tweets that violated policies again, Twitter suspended his account permanently.
Since his ban, Trump has returned to Twitter, but exclusively on the official White House account. Earlier this week, Trump reemerged to give a brief speech that officially denounced the riots that transpired at the U.S. Capitol.
