Recently, Twitter has lifted its ban on President Donald Trump. His latest tweet is very unlike the previous ones. Actually, his latest video gave a concession feeling “Now that Congress has certified the results, a new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th.” According to his statement, his focus turns to confirming a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power.
Trump had given a statement about “an orderly transition” through a surrogate account, White House social media director Dan Scavino. Actually, Trump’s own account was locked after a mob of his supporters broke into the US Capitol. Also, he was banned over a series of tweets spreading lies about the election outcome and a video the company said posed a “risk of violence.” Twitter decided it would stay until he deleted tweets and then waited 12 hours.
Trump returns to Twitter after some time but Twitter announced that he is at risk of a permanent ban if he continues to violate Twitter rules around misinformation and incitement of violence. Facebook and YouTube removed the same video from Trump accounts. Also, the social media Facebook later “indefinitely” banned Trump due to his use of the platform to “incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the ban would be there at least till Inauguration Day.
