it&#x27;s well understood at this point that both Facebook and Twatter are applying a different set of rules to Trump&#x27;s account than to &quot;normal&quot; accounts. So this is not surprising at all, it&#x27;s what you would expect: Trump&#x27;s posts on both platforms, when made by other users, lead to post deletion.<p>None of this should be surprising, both Dorsey and Zuck have explicitly decided to keep the Trump posts undeleted. This is probably due to a combination of their libertarian mindset, and some reasoning about what the expected outcomes of deleting Trump tweets would be.
