The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has taken it upon itself to flag multiple Twitter accounts sharing Donald Trump statements, according to its own reporting.
In a report by San Franciso-based correspondent Cody Godwin on the termination of the @DJTDesk account, which claimed to be sharing missives from the former U.S. President “on behalf” of his office, the BBC said a Twitter spokesman told them the handle was banned for sharing content “affiliated with a suspended account.”
The BBC noted that Trump spokesman Jason Miller had told NBC News that, in fact, “the @DJTDesk account was not set up by, or with the permission of, anyone affiliated with the former president” but indicated that the social media giant had banned it regardless under “ban evasion” rules.
