The Removable of Trump from Twitter: Thread 5

Table of Contents

In the first four threads of The Twitter Files, we explored the various ways in which Twitter has been used to censor, manipulate, and deplatform individuals and groups, and the broader implications of these actions for society. In Thread 5, titled “THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES PART FIVE. THE REMOVAL OF TRUMP FROM TWITTER,” the author examines the decision by Twitter to permanently ban the account of former President Donald Trump in the wake of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Through a series of tweets and accompanying documents, the author presents evidence of the pressure placed on Twitter by hundreds of activist employees to deplatform Trump, even though the company itself acknowledged that he did not violate the rules. The thread also examines the broader implications of the ban for free speech and democracy, and raises important questions about the role of social media companies in regulating online content and behavior.

Here are some key points covered in Thread 5:

  • The pressure placed on Twitter by hundreds of activist employees to deplatform Trump
  • The company’s acknowledgement that Trump did not violate the rules
  • The implications of the ban for free speech and democracy
