Twitter Suspended Trump’s Account Indefinitely

Yesterday, Twitter suspended Trump’s account indefinitely. While this action was long overdue, I still applaud them for it. Banning Trump from Twitter may be the single most important act that prevents a violent Presidential inauguration and saves American Democracy.

Trump used Twitter to disseminate lies and incite violence unmercifully. It was shameful and embarrassing that the United States’ president exploited the social media platform to bully, slander, and harm Americans who disagreed with him.

Do you know how many times I tagged Trump’s tweet and his supporters as offensive and dangerous? I thought Twitter started to monitor me because of that. Banning Trump permanently shows Trump is not above Twitter’s terms of use even if it appears he’s above the rule of law.

I thank Twitter for doing the right thing. How about you?
