Twitter bans Trump campaign account as Reddit & Discord join Big Tech drive to purge president & supporters from online platforms
9 Jan, 2021 02:47
The Trump campaign’s Twitter account was suspended moments after relaying a statement from the president, as Big Tech firms close ranks to ban, silence and disengage him from millions of his supporters across multiple platforms.
The @TeamTrump account was slapped with a ban on Friday night after sharing the words of the president. The same statement was previously scrubbed from the official @POTUS handle following a permanent suspension for Trump’s personal page earlier in the day, with Twitter arguing his posts risked inciting “violence.”
