Trump’s Ban Is Permanent, Even If He Runs For Office Again, Twitter CFO Says

Twitter’s chief financial officer Ned Segal, says former President Donald Trump will not be allowed back on the platform even if he runs again for office and wins.

Asked during an interview on CNBC Wednesday whether Trump’s tweeting privileges could be restored if he wins the presidency again, the CFO clarified that Trump’s ban is permanent.

“The way our policies work, when you’re removed from the platform, you’re removed from the platform, whether you’re a commentator, you’re a CFO, or you are a former or current public official. Remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence, and if anybody does that, we have to remove them from the service and our policies don’t allow people to come back.” he said.

The statement comes amid Trump’s impeachment trial in Congress. If acquitted, Trump would not be barred from seeking the presidency or another federal office.

Twitter took the unprecedented step of banning Trump in January after some of his supporters stormed the US Capitol.

At the time, Twitter said it was permanently suspending Trump “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

By the time of the crackdown, Twitter had already temporarily locked Trump’s account over several tweets that it said contributed to an elevated risk of violence.

Twitter’s decision to ban Trump came amid a flurry of other social media platform’s enforcement actions against his accounts, including Facebook’s decision to prohibit Trump from posting “indefinitely” and YouTube’s decision to begin issuing strikes to Trump’s video channel.
