Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The company of the social media platform Twitter decided to permanently close the @realDonaldTrump account of President Donald Trump after the California company felt that Trump had violated its provisions greatly.
Twitter permanently suspended President Donald Trump’s account on Friday. The company said in a cheep who made that decision “because of the risk of sedition [massa] further for [mengarah pada aksi] violence.”
Additionally, Twitter has said it is concerned that Trump’s latest tweet could be construed as support for protesters in riots and there are concerns that plans for armed protests will occur before Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021. as president-elect of the United States.
Twitter said there was news of massive movements on and off the platform, including the proposed attack on the United States Capitol building and the state capitol on January 17.
Trump can no longer access his account and his tweets and profile picture have also been deleted. Trump had 88.7 million followers before his suspension. Meanwhile, institutional accounts like @POTUS and @WhiteHouse are still active.
Trump later tweeted a statement from the @POTUS account before being removed. On Friday night, the Trump campaign Twitter account shared the same statement before the entire account was permanently closed.
“As we have said, using another account to try to avoid suspension is against our rules,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement.
Twitter says it won’t suspend intuitive accounts like @POTUS except to avoid real-world dangers, but doing so may limit the capabilities of those accounts.
In Trump’s statement, he accused Twitter employees of “coordinating with Democrats and the radical left to remove my account from their platforms, to silence me and YOU, the great 75,000,000 patriots who voted for me. Twitter it can be a private company, but without a gift. ” Government over Section 230, they won’t last long. “
Trump is referring to Section 230 of the Communications Appropriations Act, a law that protects technology platforms from legal liability for their users’ posts and for moderating them.
Trump’s campaign account also shared an image of the Twitter logo, which is typically blue with red with a yellow hammer and sickle, a symbol associated with communism.
Twitter’s decision came after Facebook did something similar by extending the initial 24-hour suspension to an indefinite one that CEO Mark Zuckerberg said would last at least until the end of Trump’s term.
Trump’s account was previously blocked on Twitter on January 6 when riots broke out in which supporters stormed the United States Capitol building as lawmakers continued their trial to validate the electoral vote count in the November 3 elections. .
As a result, lawmakers and even former Trump allies criticized the New York president for encouraging his supporters to reject the election results and protest on Capitol Hill. However, moments later, Congress still endorsed Biden’s victory by acclamation.
When the riots broke out, Trump tweeted a message encouraging non-violence while posting a video message reaffirming his unsubstantiated claim that the elections were stolen from him and telling the rioters “we love you.”
Twitter initially only blocked some of Trump’s tweets from public view on Wednesday and asked him to delete them to regain access to his account.
After deletion, the account is locked for 12 hours. However, Twitter warned that future policy violations would result in permanent suspension of Trump’s account.
In his first tweet after returning to Twitter on January 7, Trump posted a video message urging calm and giving the closest thing to a concession speech he has, saying there will be a transition to a new government. However, he told his fans, “our extraordinary journey has just begun.”
Trump is known to often poke fun at his loyal Twitter followers that his loss to Joe Biden last November was a huge fraud.
Even via Twitter, Trump invited his followers to hold a mass demonstration on Wednesday (6/1/2021). However, all the claims of the Republican presidential candidate have not been proven in court.
