Twitter has suspended an account created for percentage of posts from an online page recently filed through former President Donald Trump, claiming that the new service is an attempt to circumvent the suspension of his non-public account, as a component of the most recent initiative through a major social media company that restricts Trump’s ability to spread his message.
The new site, “From Donald J. Trump’s Office,” posted Tuesday, as his Twitter called @DJTDesk.
By Wednesday night, the account had been suspended.
A Twitter spokesperson told Forbes, “As stated in our policy of circumventing bans, we will take coercive action on accounts whose obvious goal is to update or advertise content affiliated with a suspended account. “
But Trump’s team denies ownership of the account, and a spokesman for his workplace told Forbes, “We don’t create the account that was closed. “
Two days after the murderous chaos on Capitol Hill on January 6 that claimed the lives of five people, adding a DC police officer, Twitter announced the permanent suspension of Trump’s non-public account “due to the threat of further incitement. to violence “. The company explained that it made the decision that Trump violated his policy of glorifying violence. YouTube and Facebook also banned the president after the riots. Facebook’s oversight board on Wednesday unveiled the company’s resolve to ban Trump. Still, he ruled that it was not “appropriate” to impose an indefinite ban, saying Facebook has six months to repair the account or make its suspension permanent. Trump was temporarily unleashed. “What Facebook, Twitter and Google have done is a shame and a disgrace for our country,” he said in a statement. The former president also said that social media corporations deserve “to pay a political price” for trying to “destroy and decimate our electoral process. ” In a video announcing his new site Tuesday, Trump said his new platform would serve as a “safe and relaxed position to speak. “
According to Fox News, Twitter temporarily suspended the account of Karoline Leavitt, communications director of Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY), on Wednesday night before resetting her on Thursday morning. “The only explanation I can think Twitter would have suspended me for “Is that I followed several Republican members of Congress and Republican activists last night, and within minutes, my account suspended,” Leavitt told Fox. The account suspended “by mistake,” a Twitter spokesperson told Fox.
“Freedom of speech has been taken away from the president of the United States because the crazy left-wing radicals fear the fact, but the fact will come to light anyway, bigger and more powerful than ever,” Trump said on a Wednesday.
