Twitter shut down the open window into President Trump's thoughts and cut off his favorite form of communication, writes Zachary B. Wolf

He may yet be impeached for a second time, an historical stain on an already tainted legacy, but the loss of his Twitter handle may be one of the most immediately consequential prices he'll pay for his actions during these final two weeks of his presidency.The company shut down the open window into the President's thoughts and cut off his favorite form of communication.

— Twitter Safety January 8, 2021 The decisive action by Twitter, a publicly traded company, came in contrast to the much slower official action of lawmakers, where Democrats moved toward impeach, but it was unclear if Washington would agree to definitively censure Trump and bar him from holding future office for sparking a mob to storm Capitol Hill.Twitter referenced its"Glorification of Violence" policy in a long blog post assessment of his tweets it posted online Friday.

Well it also cut of the Democrats ability to see what Trump is think not that's got the Congressional Democrats worried as well as Biden team. Not knowing what Trump's think or say to his supporters.

Too little, Too late

More free speech blocked by our communist country. They are inciting a civil war

Post Jan20, Trump will enter a world with a whole lot of pain... Litigations, prosecution, accusations, indictments... Divorce?

He can go on TV , or release statements , any time he wants. Twitter is a business that has rules he broke. This is NOT a violation of 1st amendment rights.

If big tech can censor the US President then that power is dangerous and needs to be restrained.

Censorship from Twitter? No way!!!!

hahah twitter, the fkn twitts of the internet, our heroes

Sounds like we are in Nazi germany.

Right outta the Chinese Playbook

Look at this staged photo. Supposedly this guy is being mutilated. Look at the feet of the Officer and the person’s shoes right next to his. Looks like the same attire. Blue uniform pants and black shoes. Zoom in on the pic.

tyranny responds on protest

About damn time because facebook and tweeter are as much at fault for the riot on the capital for letting Trump use them to stir up the mindless followers of trump also tweeter and facebook knew Trump was a lair from the day he was elected in 2016 and this election 2020

Sad why? Cause twitter cause the problem in the first place?

What happened on the US capital was Americans angry with their government. Like the June BLM protests that nearly burned Washington D.C. it's the same , even if Trump's supporters stormed Capital Hill Unless the US government again learned of this the riots will get worse

And a giant wave of negative energy has left the chat...

Thank you Twitter and jack.

Thank You Geezus! Now if the media would be cognizant of NOT giving him a microphone! They are also complaisant in creating this M.O.N.S.T.E.R. He got soooo much free publicity in 2015+. He needs to be in a vacuum.

and people never enjoyed cake MORE because of it

👍

But he is still the legal president and has the rights to express his view. I don't know the chaos is American's fault or Trump's fault.

Sedition is trying to overthrown rule of law with force kind of like putting police departments on fire which dems didnt condone , trump and republicans all did condone what happened this Wednesday

I never thought my mcyt obsession would lead to my twitter name fitting so beautifully as a comment to a post “🙂”

Social media is not our source of life. Life goes on....

JoeBiden rapes children. Some German nazi tried to report this post yesterday to a fake news verifier in Germany, they couldn’t determine it was fake news! Twitter knows the truth! Joe the rapist!

I only followed his tweets to denounce his lies to him. So, I was not one of his supporters.

Good job, free speech stiffled and you all clap.

Just a fyi they didn’t block all of trumps accounts. yes this one has been suspended but several others are still out there that are Trumps accounts. If they are going to suspend him suspend all of his accounts.
