The account that copied Trump&#8217;s tweets was also suspended for &#8216;abuse&#8217;. Twitter argues that Trump&#8217;s tweets violate its hate speech policy and it is its responsibility to show global leaders how they treat the people around them. However, there are a few questions that remain unanswered.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tweets_about_election_being_stolen_violated_Twitters_Glorification_of_Violence_Policy\"><\/span>Tweets about election being stolen violated Twitter&#8217;s Glorification of Violence Policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s Glorification of Violence Policy has banned several tweets by President Trump and other prominent political figures, including the White House, because of their inflammatory nature. President Trump frequently condemned vote counting and lobbed unsubstantiated allegations of widespread voter fraud. However, the controversial president&#8217;s tweets were flagged only a handful of days before the election. Regardless, Twitter has taken an aggressive stance against misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent example, the White House is busy examining past tweets by world leaders that may have violated Twitter&#8217;s policy. Last year, the Twitter account of former Cuban president Raul Castro was suspended after a user claimed that a tweet he posted on the government&#8217;s behalf praised the use of &#8220;stop-and-frisk&#8221; policies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Account_that_copies_trumps_tweets_suspended_for_abuse\"><\/span>Account that copies trump&#8217;s tweets suspended for &#8216;abuse&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Twitter user who copied President Donald Trump&#8217;s tweets has been banned from the social media site. The account was suspended by the company due to its risk of inciting further violence. After a series of violent posts, riots broke out in the Capitol. Twitter has also threatened to delete any account that mimics Trump&#8217;s content. Users who follow @POTUS will no longer be able to see who likes their posts and who has replied to their tweets.<\/p>\n<p>The social media site is also being accused of discriminating against world leaders. The account, called @SuspendthePres, copied everything that Donald Trump posted to his account. It was suspended 48 hours after the president made the controversial tweet. The account&#8217;s owner, however, has not been identified. His avatar is @BizarreLazar. While the account has been suspended, his or her comments and pictures remain visible to millions of people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presidents_tweets_violated_its_hate_speech_policy\"><\/span>President&#8217;s tweets violated its hate speech policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After thousands of protesters attacked the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday, Twitter took action against President Donald Trump for violating the social media platform&#8217;s hate speech policy. Among the tweets Trump was accused of making was a threat to send the military to quell Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Moreover, he threatened to fire on protesters with weapons and vicious dogs if they don&#8217;t stop protesting. Twitter&#8217;s decision to ban Trump triggered a series of facts checks and warning labels on a number of Trump tweets. In the end, Twitter banned Trump for violating the hate speech policy.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter has long had exemptions for political leaders and other figures who have the power to speak freely, the president&#8217;s tweets arguably surpassed those of other users in spreading hate speech and disinformation. Because the president&#8217;s tweets were posted on an account owned by a billionaire, they surpassed the limit of all other tweets on the platform and led to abuse, mob violence, and public health disasters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presidents_tweets_violated_itsresponsibility_to_show_global_leaders_think_and_treat_people_around_them\"><\/span>President&#8217;s tweets violated its&#8217;responsibility to show global leaders think and treat people around them&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some Twitter users argue that President Trump&#8217;s recent tweets violated the company&#8217;s responsibility to show global leaders how to treat people. But Twitter has long maintained that it&#8217;s not the government&#8217;s job to decide whether a tweet is in the public interest. In other words, Twitter must consider the tweet&#8217;s context, potential harm and its relationship to public accountability.<\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s tweets were widely misinterpreted. However, the tweets were sent while it was unclear whether the first strike would spark an ongoing armed conflict. Despite this, he was not able to stop the riots from breaking into the White House, and even encouraged some protesters to take part in them.<\/p>\n<p>Many tweets criticizing the president&#8217;s comments about free speech are still up on the platform. In fact, some Twitter users have even accused Twitter of complicity in his election-related campaign, and urged the company to change its policies and practices. Ultimately, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey argued that the tweets were newsworthy and upheld Twitter&#8217;s responsibility to show global leaders how to treat people around them.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"451\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xIqYT3jB26c\" height=\"252\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Did Twitter Ban Trump?
