Twitter instituted its policy of refusing to ban politicians in response to President Trump, but the leader wont enjoy that protection once hes out of office. The social media giant has confirmed to Engadget and The Verge that Trump will lose public interest safeguard on his personal account once President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in at noon on January 20th, 2021. When that transition takes place, Twitter can ban Trump or otherwise crack down on him like any everyday user. This [public interest] policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for office, and not private citizens when they no longer hold these positions, Twitter said in a statement to Engadget.

Parler. Twitter is going by the way of MySpace
Twitter? What’s that?
You mean instead Twitter will lose their rights to operate free of lawsuits in liability when he gets reelected and stays in office
What protection? they are censoring pretty much of what he says.
Trump will move to Parlar and MeWe and take million of followers with him and instantly make those two companies huge.....plus I think most conservative and supporters of Trump will also make the move....
Both companies will have much less reach than Twitter and Facebook, but the censorship will be gone...
Well, theyve been so kind as to let him keep his account. AM I NOT GENEROUS? -Twitter
This took five minutes with some black and white tape.
Looks perfect from the street.
I predict President Trump will leave twitter and join Paler, taking millions of people with him.
JoMa
The one and only reason I signed up for Twitter was to see his tweets. Twitter has endlessly tried to interest me in other topics and leaders without success. I look forward to reading 4 more years of PRESIDENT Trump’s tweets.
The just love censorship.
Trump would seem to have enough money left to create a successful competitor to Twitter.
When Trump leaves whats the point staying in a soviet styled media platform? Parler works well enough to get info from nearly everyone I follow on Twitter. For shits and giggles I filed a small claims suit against the bastards and am maintaining my censored presence on Twitter until I go to court 12/10, then Im gone.
We need a site that isn’t viewable by anyone not vetted as a patriot and a constitutionalist. We need it to be highly secure. The communists are going to crack down on dissenters.
Methinks there will be a new standard for segregation of credentialed media in the Prezs 2nd term
Trump would seem to have enough money left to create a successful competitor to Twitter.One already exists.
Trump’s supporters are dumping Twitter like a bag of garbage. He’ll probably do the same.
Same here. I cannot stand Twitter otherwise.
Leaving Facebook Friday (supposed to to mass exodus on Friday) and Twitter to MySpace I think. Anyone know how MySpace is?
Actually, if China were ever allowed to steal a presidential election with a puppet like Joe Biden, Twitter would be the least of our problems.
For example, China would have control of the nuclear codes. I take that as a minus. They would QUICKLY eliminate threats to them (e.g. mil, 2nd ammendment). China would no doubt find use for their control of the Secret Service appointed to “guard” President Trump and his entire family.
No, Biden didn’t come close to winning the presidential election, let alone a door prize at Home Depot. He LOST because info about Hunter Biden’s proclivities in cluded selling out to China and holding payola for “The Big Guy” (Joe Biden).
So, people didn’t want a traitor for POTUS. There’s the dementia, his inability to campaign, even having Obama show up didn’t get people to...you know...the thing....SHOW UP at a rally. He didn’t win and he SURE didn’t get the extreme numbers of votes they faked. That was just one more mistake they made in their theft attempt.
No - Twitter isn’t the problem. Note that China’s tactics have been in play for awhile and censorship is one of them - they’ve been gettin’ ahead of themselves. Had China succeeded, none of us would have twitter as we know it. In China they have a Social Credit score that is attached to your cell phone. Your social credit score goes up or down based on how well you tow the party line, refuse to talk or sit near people who say things China does’nt like. A whistleblower claims the software, developed by Google, is already in use in the US, we just don’t know it yet.
Had they stolen the election, we wouldn’t recognize our country, and there would be far fewer of us around to complain because vaccines would no doubt be mandatory...if you know what I mean and there would be NO delay. They’ll never risk themselves like this again.
