“UPDATE: Aug. 5, 2020, 6:07 p.m. PDT: A Twitter spokesperson incorrectly confirmed via email that the account of @realDonaldTrump was temporarily banned from tweeting. Instead, as the Washington Post now reports, it was the account of the Trump team, @TeamTrump, that was temporarily banned.”

they got banned on a technicality: they said children are almost immune from covid. this, to a regular person means there is almost no danger to children. which is absolutely true. so the thing to do here, is to ditch twitter and move to a free platform. one that let's you post text, and for others to reply. so about a thousand other services. twitter can do what it wants, and we are free not to use it. free speech is free speech, and to have our government's speech censored by corporations is just funny.
