Dorsey, while defending the suspension, conceded that it was done in a manner that undermined public discussion; a divisive and dangerous action that could set an unexpected and inappropriate precedent for free speech, one he has been a long-standing supporter for. Many have questioned the decision by big tech giants, Twitter and Facebook to suspend President Trump's accounts, including: German President Angela Merkel, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson and virulent Putin critic, Alexey Navalny. I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a ...

Germany’s Merkel: Trump’s Twitter Eviction ‘Problematic’

German Chancellor Angela Merkel considers U.S. President Donald Trump's eviction from Twitter by the company “problematic,” her spokesman said Monday. Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the microblogging platform on Friday, citing a “risk of further incitement of violence” in the wake of the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the outgoing president. Asked about Twitter's decision, Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert said the operators of social media platforms “bear great responsibility for political communication not being poisoned by hatred, by lies and by incitement to violence.” “The fundamental right to freedom of opinion is a fundamental right of elementary importance, and this fundamental right can be interfered with, but through the law and within the fr...

Twitter Shares Slump After Suspending Trump

Twitter’s German-listed shares slumped as much as eight per cent on Monday, the first trading day after it permanently suspended US President Donald Trump’s account late last Friday. The company said the suspension of Trump’s account, which had more than 88 million followers, was due to the risk of further violence, following the storming of the US Capitol last Wednesday. At 1011 GMT, the social media firm’s US-listed shares were also off 6.8 per cent at $47.94 in thin premarket trading, according to Reuters. It was the first time Twitter banned a head of state, sparking a worldwide controversy over the impact US tech giants can have on free speech and democracy more broadly. For Twitter’s balance sheet itself, the decision to ban the US president is expected to have a mode...

Trump Tweeted Through POTUS, Twitter Deleted Them Immediately

For a brief moment, he managed to tweet anyhow — not from @realDonaldTrump, his suspended account, but rather the official @POTUS account reserved for the current President of the United States, one that will be handed over to Joe Biden on January 20th. His message, before it was deleted, cryptically suggested that he will “have a big announcement soon” and that he was looking “at the possibilities of building out our own platform.” Trump is currently deplatformed from most social media. As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great... ...patriots w...

Twitter Permanently Suspends Donald Trump

After years of using Twitter as a legislation tool, sounding board and occasional diary, President Donald Trump was permanently banned from the platform on Friday. Less than two weeks before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, the social media company removed the commander in chief after rioters overtook the Capitol on Wednesday, leading to the deaths of at least five people. In a blog post about the permanent suspension, Twitter said they did so “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” “In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and w...

Twitter Suspends Trump’s Account For 12 Hours

Facebook, Twitter and YouTube took action on President Donald Trump's posts Wednesday in the wake of riots at the US Capitol from his supporters, but the platforms stopped short of suspending the President's accounts despite growing pressure from advocacy groups and prominent figures. Facebook and YouTube each removed President Donald Trump's video from earlier in the afternoon addressing his supporters, according to company spokesmen. In the video, Trump had urged Capitol rioters to "go home" but struck a sympathetic tone and reiterated his debunked claims of election fraud. "This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video," Guy Rosen, Facebook's VP of integrity, said in a tweet. "We removed it because o...

“I have time for all of you today” – Kiddwaya blows hot after being dragged nonstop

Reality star, Terseer Kiddwaya is currently trending on Twitter after being dragged over and over again today. The 27-year-old entrepreneur started the day by sharing a video of himself bathing in his luxury apartment in Dubai. The video barely lasted a minute before trolls attacked the billionaire son for acting immature. As if that was it, Kiddwaya made another post discouraging his fans from comparing him to other reality stars. This ended up being misunderstood as subtly shading the 2020 BBNaija winner, Laycon; this unleashed a second wave of dragging. In another tweet, Kiddwaya openly declared to be ready to take it all and fight back anyone who attacks him again. “I have time for all of you today,” he wrote.
