It sounds like he tweeted new things today that they considered breaching their earlier warning? Does anyone know what those tweets were? Edit: Oh, damn, I had just seen the Twitter Safety and just assumed that this was linking to that, not to a separate blogpost. As many people have pointed out it was for these two tweets: On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted: “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots…

Per the linked article: > The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!! > To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

Ok so he’s dissing the incoming President... ok, that’s rude. But the other preceding text is pretty anodyne.

I think it’s clear about controlling the narrative.

In the end what this will do is kickstart more of an echochamber on another service, they’ll diverge and we’ll get people in one camp on one platform, the other camp in the other. Except they’ll be more extreme on both sides as moderates tail off.

They are purging a lot of conservative accounts.
