Trump’s tweet appeared on January 8, 2021
Trump’s Twitter account appeared to be back up as of Saturday evening and the last tweet was dated January 8, 2021, in which Trump said that for all who have asked, I will not be going to the inauguration on January 20. Asked if he has plans to return to Twitter, the former president said he may not. I don’t see it because I don’t see a reason for it, Trump said, adding that he would stick with his new platform, Truth Social, an app developed by his Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) startup.
Vijaya Gadde tweeted at that time
Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter by the previous management in January 2021, days after an attempted uprising by his supporters at the US Capitol. Trump supporters, disagreeing with the 2020 presidential election results, storm the Capitol. The then head of legal affairs and policy at Twitter, Vijaya Gadde, was at the forefront of the decision to suspend Trump’s Twitter account.
Linking to a Twitter blog post about the company’s decision to permanently suspend Trump’s Twitter account, Gadde tweeted that “@realDonaldTrump’s account has been permanently suspended from Twitter due to the risk of further violence.” Has been done. We have also published our policy enforcement analysis – you can read more about our decision here”.
