Twitter will never ban Trump's tweets because he alone saved the company from coming to an end. Twitter is giving leaders free reign to tweet as they deem fit while everyone else needs to adhere to their code of conduct. It's a bit two-faced but from the perspective of running a business I see why twitter did this.
- chasing 9y agoThe simple fact of the matter is that the President of the United States -- no matter who they are -- occupies a special place in our society. So, yes, Twitter is right to treat him differently than, say, Milo. And, yes: I'm sure this is all very good for Twitter's business...
- connorelsea 9y agoIn Twitter's position, I'd be concerned that my platform would be used for evil in a society where the population is particularly susceptible to propaganda. I wouldn't want to help a modern day Hitler get his message out "on my dollar." Twitter isn't trying to maintain free speech on their platform with this ruling on world leaders, as they have removed and censored plenty of users before at the request of governments or because of rule/TOS violations, etc. They're probably just keeping trump because it puts them in the spotlight and gets them a ton of money, thinking its for "free speech" is extremely idealistic imo
