Washington - After Facebook and Instagram banned Trump, Twitter took its turn to deny Trump access to its platform, the company said on Friday.
Twitter have finally scrutinized Trump's account and made a thorough review on the contents that were said insinuating violence and hatred.
" After close review of recent tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended due to the risk of further incitement or violence." Twitter said.
It took violence and mayhem perpetuated by trump's Acolytes on January 6 that made facebook and instagram to take away Trump's privileges to use the social media service.
It took two tweets by Trump on Friday afternoon that made Twitter to make a move to draw the line. The controversial tweets made by Trump have clearly violated the company's policy against the justification of violence, Twitter said and " these two tweets must be read in the context of broader events and the country and the ways in which the President's statement can mobilize by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks."
The first tweet was referring to his legion of supporters.
" The 75,000,000 great American patriots who voted me, AMERICA FIRST and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, we will have GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way shape or form!!!"
The second tweet was all about Trump's plan to ditch Biden's inauguration.
" To all those who have asked, I will not be going to the inauguration on January 20th."
According to Twitter, the second tweet in regards to the inauguration, can be viewed as a strong statement that the recent election was not a legitimate one. It is also said that the tweet can be interpreted as an insinuation by Trump the the inauguration can be a "safer" target for insurrection and havoc by his followers because he was not attending.
Trump's other statement about American patriots suggested that "he plans to continue to support, empower and shield those who believe that he won the election." Twitter said.
Twitter bans specifically addresses @realDonaldTrump account and not Trump himself.
Twitter will enforce strict policy against ban evasions to ensure that Trump does not circumvent his personal account's suspension. Twitter told CNN.
" If it's clear that another account is being used for the purpose of evading a ban, it is also subject to suspension." Twitter said in a statement. For government account such as @Potus and @Whitehouse, we will not suspend the account but will take action to limit their use. However, these accounts will be transitioned over to the new administration in due course and will not be suspended by Twitter unless absolutely necessary to alleviate real-world harm."
Twitter also plans to prohibit any action by Trump to utilize third party to act on his behalf on twitter.
Trump sought to test Twitter ban evasion on Friday at around 8:30 PM when he or someone acting on his behalf posted four intriguing tweets from @Potus account.
" As I have been saying for long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform to silence me." Trump tweeted.
This tweet just vanished instantly.
