President Donald Trump will lose Twitter privileges he enjoys as a world leader when President-Elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20th, 2021. Twitter confirmed that Trump’s @realDonaldTrump account will be subject to the same rules as any other user — including bans on inciting violence and posting false information about voting or the coronavirus pandemic.

Twitter applies special policies to world leaders and some other officials, leaving rule-breaking content online if there’s “a clear public interest value to keeping the tweet on the service.” The public interest policy was formalized in 2019, codifying a rule that had been informally enforced for some time.

“Twitter’s approach to world leaders, candidates, and public officials is based on the principle that people should be able to choose to see what their leaders are saying with clear context. This means that we may apply warnings and labels, and limit engagement to certain tweets. This policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for office, and not private citizens when they no longer hold these positions,” a Twitter spokesperson confirms to The Verge.

 

 

Something that those who supports truth and integrity would definitely look forward to.

As someone who just used Twitter to find Sarah Cooper videos on Tiktok, yawn.

I hope they ban him, in fact, I've been hoping for a while they ban a lot more people, help out those confused conservatives in finding a better platform and in rapid fashion. It's Twitter's loss, which is someone else's gain. 👍

i hope they will ban anyone who was caught lying on their platform multiple times. simple as that. be it Dems , Libs or GOPs. across the board. 

But Trump ascension to the White House shows that some blind followers are just looking for a figure that channels their own prejudice and inner feelings - especially towards others (name calling, bullying, lying,  projecting), i bet they would find their next idol easily (too many of such demagogue  already around - especially with the rise of Trump).

Life in the US would be much better off without Twitter and FB.

Yes! Ban people for lying.. or being someone some deranged people don't like! I wish Twitter did this from the start, would've been dead before Obama was elected. 😂

In February, you will only need to see Trump in your face if you seek him out, and then only when you have a craving for something that can probably be filled with new episodes of Tiger King.

That is fine by me, I wish it was the same thing with Obama and Clinton.  As much as I disliked either of the Bush's, when they left office, we rarely heard from them.
