    Trump will lose his 'world leader' Twitter privileges on January 20, Jack Dorsey confirms — meaning he could get banned just like everyone else

    • Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told a congressional hearing on Tuesday that once Donald Trump was no longer president, his tweets would no longer fall under the company's "world leader" policy.
    • World leaders' Twitter accounts are granted certain exemptions when they break Twitter's guidelines because the platform considers their tweets to be in the public interest.
    • Trump's Twitter account will lose its "world leader" protections on January 20, when President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration is scheduled, Twitter previously told The Verge.
    • Once Trump is no longer president, his account will be subject to suspension and even removal, just like any other account, if he breaks the platform's rules.

    I am concerned that you the media and millions others who are Trump hate junkies will experience severe withdraws after Jan 20

    Suddenly, the daily Trump content will dry up and all you will have is a Biden drip
    The voids in your lives will take months to adjust to.

  3. It's going to interesting to see the shit FOX News goes after Biden for with Trump as his predecessor. What if he follows Obama and wears a tan suit? Will they devote hours of programming to criticize the audacity?

    Who knows if Twitter will even be around on Jan 20, 2024. Way too early to be talking about this.
     
  5. Had he lost those tweeting privileges a few months ago one could argue he may have won the election.

  10. As of this date in time he has lost the election. He is, as is his right, contesting this outcome as the votes are very close in some areas. I doubt any fraud was widespread enough to change the outcome, widespread being the new favorite word of the left. None the less it seems highly unlikely that the results will change enough to declare Trump a victory, and/or have enough compelling evidence for the high court to have any opinion given, or even heard. Covid cost him the election, and to topic of the thread, the tweets didn't help his cause. Red meat for the base for sure, but probably cost him some votes.
