Twitter has permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s account, the company announced Friday, a striking move that comes as the social media network faced growing pressure to remove him following the deadly Capitol riots earlier this week. Trump immediately tweeted from the @POTUS that Twitter’s employees were coordinating with Democrats and the “Radical Left” in “banning free speech” and silencing him. But moments later the tweets were removed. Trump’s Twitter account was his primary way of communicating with the world, even before his presidency. He’s used it to announce policies, go after critics, spread falsehoods and, most recently, promote conspiracy theories about election fraud. But after years of pressure to clean up its platform, Twitter begun cracking down on Trump this year by fact-checking false tweets about mail-in voting, the coronavirus and election results. The company’s actions angered Trump so much he launched a crusade against tech’s legal shield, Section 230, claiming that social media companies are biased against conservatives. Trump isn’t the only person who got permanently suspended in the wake of the deadly insurrection attempt at the U. S. Capitol. Twitter also removed several accounts that pushed QAnon conspiracy theories, including Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn and former 8kun administrator Ron Watkins.
