Twitter Suspends Accounts Skirting Trump Ban
Voice of America
Twitter confirmed Thursday that it pulled the plug on several accounts trying to skirt its ban on former President Donald Trump by promoting his blog posts.
The ex-president launched a page on his website earlier this week promising comment "straight from the desk of Donald J Trump." The page was made public just before Facebook's independent oversight board on Wednesday upheld the platform's ban on Trump. Twitter accounts with names playing on Trump themes and seeking to amplify the Trump website posts were taken offline, according to the platform.More Related News
