Could Twitter Ban Trump Once He's a Private Citizen?

[JEDI]

Why Doesn't Twitter Ban President Trump, and Will They in 2021?

This was recently confirmed by a Twitter spokesperson to Forbes, who said the president could in fact be banned from the platform, once he becomes a private citizen, for repeatedly violating the company’s rules.


oh please let his be true!
i could imagine the orange one throwing stuff against the wall in a tantrum the moment he's banned

Yup twitter has been pretty clear about this, once out of the White House he is no longer President and subject to a ban.

This would be too special. A late Holiday gift from Twitter on Jan 20th.

I cant wait.. whats he going to do.. rant that he cant tweet? YAY!

I bet they don’t do it. I hope they do though, the rants would be worth it.

 

[KMFJD]

could? i think you meant to say when will.....

 

[BoomerD]

COULD they? Sure, but they COULD have banned him while he was president...they just chose not to do so.
I don't think they will...but just keep putting "bullshit!" Tags on nis tweets.

The rant would be epic, (un)fortunately he won't be able to tweet it so no one will know.

no, they couldnt ban him while he's Pres.
'World leader' exception although they have placed warnings on his tweets that you must click 'ok' on to view it.

They absolutely could have banned his personal account if they had wanted.

he tweeted using his personal acct while pres?
figured his ego would reach a much wider audience using the Pres acct

I'm open to possibilities, but to me Twitter's remarks have made it more a question of when Trump gets banned than if. He's clearly not going to stop spouting misinformation and inciting hate, because he doesn't know how to do anything else; it's just a question of which tweet breaks the proverbial camel's back.

 

[soulcougher73]

He will just go to the crazy newer one for conservatards.

 

[Spacehead]

So which platform will he move to/be allowed to move to?

No way is Twitter going to ban their biggest draw. Trump brings the eyeballs. Twitter would pay him to keep posting.

Yes, they COULD HAVE banned him. There's no law that would have prevented them from doing so...but their "world leader policies" have permitted him to stay out of "public interest."

Trump will simply join his cult on their own media platform.

Twitter could ban him right now if they wanted to. They're not restricted by any laws, only a policy of their own making. They keep him on their platform because it's good for business, and damn the consequences.

And he will be denied access to @POTUS on 1/20/21 at 1201

How they convert or move 88 million followers to his private account might not be easy. But, Maybe they will make some magic happen or people will just move to his private account on their own.

Pretty sure no MAGAt is going to follow President Biden.

I'm sure they'll figure out how to find their Dear Leader.

At any rate - Trumpy will still be doing things on the sidelines to wreck the country and antagonize the people. He is not going to stay silent in retirement.

Not if his personal account gets suspended.

Well, if I am FORCED to play The Devils Advocate here, I guess you could say it comes down to the defense bill that Trump is threatening to veto and section 230.

Nope

Donny got seriously spanked on that. Congress passed it with a vetoproof majority as a punishment, basically daring him to veto it.!
