Donald Trump's Twitter account suspended

While Goodman was lauded on Twitter, Donald Trump's account was permanently suspended from platform. Throughout four years of Trump ministration, US President's posts on Twitter were eir flagged, removed, restricted or even banned on platform. Trump was irked by microblogging platform being 'discriminatory' or 'silencing truth'. Twitter after US Capitol siege said, "After reviewing of tweets from Donald Trump account and context around m — how y are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended account due to risk of furr incitement of violence”. 

It ded, "In context of horrific events this week, we me it clear on Wednesday that ditional violations of Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable public to hear from elected officials and world leers directly. It is built on a principle that people have a right to hold power to account in open”.
