Twitter permanently bans Trump

Twitter has permanently suspended President Trump from the platform, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence," the company announced late Friday. The ban follows the assault on the U.S. Capitol this week, which Mr. Trump is accused of inciting.To get more news about twitter updates, you can visit shine news official website.

"After close review of recent Tweets from the realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence," Twitter said in a statement.

Twitter told CBS News that the POTUS and WhiteHouse accounts will not be suspended at this time, but their use will be limited. It did not specify how it planned to limit use of the accounts. The company said it would suspend the accounts if it became necessary in an extreme situation to alleviate real world harm, adding that they will be transferred over to the Biden administration in due time.Twitter also said that if it becomes clear that Mr. Trump has created another personal account to evade the ban, that new account will also be subject to suspension.

Hours after the ban was announced, President Trump appeared to tweet from the official POTUS account. "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 who voted for me," read a post from the account.

The post said Trump was negotiating with other sites, and would have "a big announcement soon." The post also said the president is looking at "the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future."Mr. Trump frequently used Twitter to drive the news cycle, attack political opponents and announce policy changes. But he also used Twitter to share unfounded conspiracy theories and claims of voter fraud, which contributed to his removal from the platform.
Twitter initially froze the president's personal account for 12 hours on Wednesday and threatened to permanently ban Mr. Trump if he continued to suspend misinformation. In a blog post on Friday, Twitter said it determined that two of the president's subsequent tweets violated its rules on glorifying violence.

In the first tweet, Mr. Trump said: "The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"
