Twitter confirms that Donald Trump will not return to the social network, regardless of the political position he may take in the future 

Donald Trump (former American president) ended up getting banned from Twitter for life, since initially last month, the former president was first suspended for a period of one week and later the decision they made was made known not only on Twitter but also on more social and diverse networks. platforms on the suspension of Trum accountsp.

Later The news was released during an interview with the US media CNBC by Ned Segal, Twitter's CFO said during the exchange that: when a user, whatever their nature or title, is removed from the platform, they will remain so forever. This confirms that Donald Trump, who was eliminated from Twitter on January 8, will continue to be so for life, even if he were reelected president of the United States in 2024.

Twitter's CFO, Ned Segal, has confirmed that the exclusion of Donald Trump from the platform is permanent, even if the former president decides to run again for public office. In an interview with Becky Quick, CNBC's "Squawk Box," Segal said that no one who "incites violence" on Twitter will not be able to return. He went on to say that Trump "was removed from office when he was president, and it would make no difference to anyone who is a public official once he is removed from service."

"The way our policies work, when they take you off the platform, they take you off the platform," Segal said. “Whether you are a commentator, CFO or former or current public servant, remember that our policies are designed to ensure that people do not incite violence, and if someone does, we have to take them out of service and our policies do not allow people to come back ”.

And it is that during his time in the White House, Donald Trump used Twitter to communicate more frequently than his predecessor Barack Obama. Between aggressive tweets, comedy and political decisions, the president had gotten used to announcing everything on his Twitter page And even if some of his messages were sometimes not completely in line with the platform's policies, the president enjoyed some immunity to speak freely. In fact, during his presidency, Trump was a notoriously provocative tweeter.

For example, In May 2020, Twitter withheld one of Trump's tweets because he violated one of its rules long-standing prohibiting the glorification of violence. Following massive protests in the United States following the assassination of George Floyd, the president threatened to "send in the National Guard" and added a warning that "when the looting begins, the shooting will begin."

For a normal account, this would result in a suspensionBut Twitter made an exception, one of Twitter's justifications for keeping Trump's tweet and hiding it, rather than suspending it entirely, was that the President of the United States was a "newsworthy" person, to whom exceptions are made. . Trump redefined politics by using Twitter to bypass official channels and traditional media.

Thus, after the presidential elections of November 3, 2020, Trump also used the media to contest the results, from the proclamation of the results until his departure from the White House, Trump has never admitted defeat in the presidential elections of last november. He said at length that the vote had been stolen and asked his followers through Twitter to protest the alleged manipulation they suffered.

Defiance from Donald Trump and his supporters led to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 and although the direct participation of the former president has not yet been demonstrated, Twitter found these messages to be quite provocative, to push his supporters to storm the Capitol. As a result, Trump was removed from the platform on January 8, 2021.

In the run-up to the ban, the social network had routinely masked misleading and aggressive tweets from Trump that violated his policy with a warning label that included a link to more information or context.

Segal's comments come as Congress works on a landmark second impeachment trial against Trump, the only U.S. president to have been indicted twice. If the Senate finds you guilty (which is far from certain), then the House can also vote to bar you from holding public office in the future.

    It is not that I care much about the parties of the Americans and the censorship of their citizens but in the unlikely event that Trump stands in the election or presents someone to replace him and win ... I am afraid that this Dorsey will have more than enough reasons so as not to sleep peacefully. Either I'm wrong or the first thing Trump will do is go for him, for Amazon, for Google, for Apple, ... Payday.
