Twitter is taking its permanent ban of ex-President Donald Trump seriously, with the company on Thursday suspending an account for sharing comments Trump made on his new website.
The @DJTDesk account was suspended after taking messages from Trump’s “From the Desk” site and reposting them on Twitter. Trump launched the website on Tuesday, allowing him to send out tweet-like messages to his fans (and detractors). Visitors to Trump’s new site can’t respond to his messages, but they can reshare his comments on Facebook or Twitter by clicking icons next to his posts.
“As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” a Twitter spokesperson told TheWrap.
