Looks like Twitter just suspended Trump's account, no posting unless he removes some tweet about kids and covid-19. Getting spicy.

Update: It wasn't Trump's account, it was @TeamTrump.

I honestly would have expected the literal President of the United States to be immune to this stuff since he's, you know, the leader of a country. With the stuff he tweets compared to like a vast number of lolcows on here that still haven't been suspended and are also verified is some Grade-A bullshit.

It turned out to be the Team Trump account, not the main one. They're testing the waters, going after his staff account first to see how he'll react. Or this was done by some low-level NPC who didn't have authorization to suspend Trump's main account, since it has an added layer of protection to it.
 
yeah no campaign profile is protected from fact checking or ToS removal/banning.

his is only protected for the sake of historical record.

He ought to just seize Twitter declaring a national emergency. He'd probably lose the court case under Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer but it would be hilarious. Alternately he could just buy it and turn it profitable by banning all the troons and inviting normal people back.

Dammit, you had me hoping for a Trump v. Twitter turf war.

Still, I feel like this is probably going to build up to something bigger over time, like them actually taking down Trump's account. Though I'd love to see them try considering Section 230 is still a thing he's trying to take away. Odds are they do that, he'll just attempt to overrule the house and implement it anyway.

TBF I doubt Trump could afford Twitter.
