Twitter Execs Sought Rules to Ban Trump Alone, Files Say

Senior Twitter executives sought on January 7, 2021, the day after the Capitol riot, "to create justifications to ban Trump - seek a change of policy for Trump alone, distinct from other political leaders - express no concern for the free speech or democracy implications of a ban," according to the fourth installment of the Twitter Files released Saturday night.

"For years, Twitter had resisted calls to ban Trump," author Michael Shellenberger and journalist Leighton Woodhouse write, quoting the executives themselves: "'Blocking a world leader from Twitter,' it wrote in 2018, 'would hide important info... [and] hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.'"

Following the events of January 6, internal and external pressure on then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey began to grow, according to the report. Former first lady Michelle Obama and several other prominent individuals and groups called on Twitter to permanently ban the president.

They knew Trump had a huge voice and followers on Twitter so they had to shut him down because then they could cover up everything that really happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

Conspiracy to interfere with an election. Disinformation. Lies. Fabrication. Coverup.

And the dems plan to refer Trump for criminal prosecution over Jan 9?

Utter B.S. There was no such resistance from Twitter. The DS had been working with Twitter to find ways to ban Trump from posting from day one.

By now everyone should know that the DS has controlled all social media from the beginning. This is how they pervert the Constitution with their sinister egos and endless money to spend on treason. Imagine! How totally corrupt a company is when they plot to silence the voice of The President of the United States. Why is no one hanging?

I'm well aware. Obviously, it's transnational - you can draw your own conclusions regarding who is pulling the strings.
