Twitter Inc suspended several accounts this week that were set up to share statements from a new part of former U.S. President Donald Trump's website, saying they broke its rules against evading an account ban.
Twitter suspended several accounts for promoting statements from former U.S. President Donald Trump's blog this week, and helping to evade the ban on his account.
Before the ban, Trump had more than 88 million followers.
Twitter booted him from the platform after the deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in January.
On Tuesday a page was added to Trump's website dubbed "From the Desk of Donald J.
Trump".
There he posts messages that can be shared by his audience to both Twitter and Facebook.
A Twitter spokesman said in a statement, "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 Trump representative said they had nothing to do with the suspended accounts.
Twitter said Trump's ban is permanent even if he runs for office again.
While on Wednesday, Facebook's oversight board upheld Trump's suspension from their platform, but said the company should not have made it indefinite.
Facebook now has six months to decide a more proportionate response.
Trump is reportedly planning to launch his own social media platform.
Former Twitter executives, including ex-CEO Parag Agrawal, have filed a lawsuit against tech mogul Elon Musk, seeking over $128 million in combined unpaid severance. The lawsuit, filed on Monday in federal court in San Francisco, is the latest in a string of legal challenges faced by Musk since he acquired the social media giant for $44 billion in October 2022, subsequently renaming it X.

Royal biographer Hugo Vickers said the King's return to duties is a sign he is "on the way to recovery." Buckingham Palace confirmed today that His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis. "I think the most difficult thing for him was he was really getting into his stride as head of state and he was doing so much and then suddenly he was confined to base. We'll be very pleased to see him and he'll be delighted to be out and about again," Mr Vickers added. Report by Kennedyl.

Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is battling for his political survival after a chaotic 24 hours which saw him end the SNP’s governing partnership with the Greens on Thursday. This was followed a couple of hours later by the Scottish Conservatives putting forward a motion of no confidence in the first minister. The motion was backed by Scottish Labour, the Scottish Lib Dems and, crucially, the Greens, who just 24 hours earlier were close cabinet colleagues. It leaves Mr Yousaf potentially having to rely on Alex Salmond’s Alba Party, and their one MSP Ash Regan, to survive a no-confidence vote. Report by Jonesia.
