SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 9, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Twitter late Friday blocked an
effort by US President Donald Trump to sidestep a freshly-enacted ban by
tweeting from the official @POTUS account for the country’s leader.
Shortly after Twitter permanently suspended the president’s personal
@realdonaldtrump account, he fired off tweets from the presidential account
accusing the company of being in cahoots with the “Radical Left.”
The tweets were quickly deleted.
“Using another account to try to evade a suspension is against our rules,”
Twitter told AFP.
“We have taken steps to enforce this with regard to recent Tweets from the
@POTUS account.”
