| Trump loses his Twitter franchises as a world leader in January |
The President (Trump) lost his privileges on the Twitter platform as a global leader when the presidential election (Biden) was held on January 20, 2021 in office.
Twitter confirmed that Trump's current personal account, realDonaldTrump, follows the same rules as any other user, including a ban on inciting violence and spreading false information about the vote or pandemic. Corona Virus.
Twitter has a privacy policy for world leaders and some other officials. If keeping Tweets online has an apparent public interest value, you are keeping content that violates the rules.
The policy was formulated in 2019 to codify the rules that have been informally implemented for some time.
Twitter's attitude towards executives, candidates, and government officials around the world is based on the premise that people should be able to choose what their leaders say in a clear context.
A spokesperson for the platform said: We can issue warnings and tags and restrict participation in certain Tweets. This policy framework applies to the world's current leaders and candidates, not to ordinary citizens who do not hold these positions. .

Twitter indicated that when world leaders incite terrorism, directly threaten personal violence or disclose private information (for example, posting a person's home address, posting private photos or videos, or acting without their consent), world leaders are subject to Data), they still have to comply with the law. These rules apply to the sexual exploitation of children or the encouragement of self-harm, regardless of the general interest of the tweet.
Unlike his predecessor (Barack Obama), Trump has repeatedly tested the limits of the platform with fake or inflammatory tweets.
Twitter is restricting Trump's tweets, such as his May tweets, which threatened protesters. The tweet violated the rules of praise for violence: "When the robbery begins, the filming begins." Or a poll has been attacked by a tweet.
Since election night, Facebook and Twitter have posted warning posters in several of Trump's posts after baseless allegations of fraud and misinformation how the vote works.
