This is why I think Twitter made a mistake in using the normal suspension mechanism to ban @realDonaldTrump. Not passing judgement on the decision to take away his posting privileges. But by suspending POTUS, everything he posted during his term in office is just... gone. Every hot link to anything he said, on any website, is broken. This is an enormous loss to any historian of the era. He was using Twitter as his main microphone to speak to the world, and all that content is, while not lost lost, thoroughly and permanently scrambled. It would have been better to just lock him out of the account, publish a statement that the @realDonaldTrump account is now permanently archived, and that any new account he tried to open will be suspended.
