Twitter told NBC it wasn’t technically ban evasion
On January 8th, Twitter permanently banned President Donald Trump, and proceeded to play whack-a-mole as he attempted to dodge that ban by using different Twitter accounts, each of which Twitter suspended in turn.
And yet less than a week later, a Trump video has been posted on the official @WhiteHouse account delivering a new video speech. The speech is not inflammatory — quite the opposite. It features Trump denouncing violence, lawbreaking, and vandalism.
It contains messages many might have hoped Trump would issue immediately during or perhaps even before the attack on the US Capitol, to avoid the violence and the five deaths that occurred.
Still, it’s very strange to see Trump’s face in a new Twitter video, considering such a video was one of the inciting incidents that got Trump kicked off the platform. Twitter initially removed that video due to a “risk of violence” before deciding it was too risky to allow Trump to retain an account at all... and yet he’s now able to publish a video speech to Twitter from a different account. When Twitter banned Trump, the company told us it would try to limit the use of even government accounts like @WhiteHouse if Trump tried to use them to evade his ban.
But Twitter told NBC reporter Dylan Byers that this doesn’t constitute a ban evasion at all.
When we asked how this doesn’t count as ban evasion, Twitter declined to comment.

Twitter? That trashhole is still around???
Ban evasion? As if it’s illegal and Twitter is the law.
It is a false premise.
>> and proceeded to play whack-a-mole as he attempted to dodge that ban by using different Twitter accounts
No, whack-a-mole was Donald Trump firing Deep State bad actors who served as moles to “resist” and monkeywrench his agenda.
. . . and the horse Dorsey rode in on.

Looks like they want people back.
Do you mean dorky Dorsey’s donkey-faced horsey?
Nice try, jerks. Now that they think Trump has been neutered, they’re trying to pretend to act reasonable hoping they can get back the people who left and thinking they can shed their well-earned image as social media tyrants. Only an idiot would fall for this and go back to Twitter. Eat it, Dorsey.
Yea because he was weak, gabe in and said exactly what they want him to say. Under these circumstances Trump can talk. Storm the gates, it would appear thry have taken down the leader of the troops
Couldn’t “like” the video because I deleted my Twitter account. So, I just watched it. Not going back.
Twitter days = numbered.... 5-4-3-
I’m surprised Twitter didn’t take it down. We can’t let people see President trump calling for peace and calm. That has to be some kind of violation.

"As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the Enemy of the People, had flashed on to the screen. There were hisses here and there among the audience. The little sandy-haired woman gave a squeak of mingled fear and disgust. Goldstein was the renegade and backslider who once, long ago (how long ago, nobody quite remembered), had been one of the leading figures of the Party, almost on a level with Big Brother himself, and then had engaged in counter-revolutionary activities, had been condemned to death, and had mysteriously escaped and disappeared."
(1984)
Bingo- they want people back and they know once people stay away long enough they stay gone- example Fox
