Washington /
The social network Twitter will not allow the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, to return to the platform even if he appears again in the elections, according to the company’s chief financial officer.
“As our policies work, when they remove you from the platform, they remove you from the platform, whether you are a current or former commentator, CFO or public official, “said Ned Segal in an interview with the television network. CNBC.
Trump’s expulsion by Twitter followed a violent revolt by his supporters that led to a deadly siege of the United States Capitol on January 6. Facebook and other social networks also blocked Trump after the incident.
For these facts, the former president is the subject of a political trial in the Senate that began this week.
“Our policies are designed to ensure that people do not incite violence,” Segal said.
“And if someone does, we would have to remove it from service and our policies do not allow people to return“.
Trump was a prolific user of Twitter during his campaign and in his four years in the White House, using the platform for political ads, to settle scores with his enemies and for his political campaign.
He had more than 80 million followers when his account was suspended.
