Former President Trump announced the launch of his own new social media platform — “TRUTH Social”, a new social media platform seeking to rival the “liberal media consortium.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) criticized Twitter for permanently banning former President Trump from its platform, saying he doesn’t feel “particularly comfortable” with the censorship move and raised concerns that the political muzzling would definitely continue to someone who has a “very different political point of view.”
Twitter’s chief financial officer Ned Segal said that former President Trump is beyond online redemption in the eyes of Twitter, clarifying that Trump’s ban is permanent and will not be permitted back on the one-sided social media platform, even if he decides to make a comeback to run for office again in 2024 and wins.
YouTube, the Google-owned video site has suspended President Trump’s channel, citing concern about “ongoing potential for violence for at least seven days Tuesday night, joining the long growing list of social media tech companies flexing its power in limiting or ejecting the president online presence.
