When Twitter said it had banned Trump, some wondered how permanent the move really was. After all, Twitter long used the justification of \u201cpublic intestest\u201d when explaining why the president was allowed to remain on the platform after saying things that would get other users banned. Following the Capitol riot, and as Trump would no longer be president just a few days following the ban, the public interest excuse didn\u2019t mean much.<\/p>\n

But what if he were to run for the position \u2014 or another government seat \u2014 again?<\/p>\n

The company today clarified that ban is indeed permanent. In an interview with CNBC<\/a>, Twitter CFO Ned Segal said \u201cwhen you\u2019re removed from the platform, you\u2019re removed from the platform.\u201d He further elaborated \u201cour policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence. He was removed when he was president and there\u2019d be no difference for anybody who\u2019s a public official once they\u2019ve been removed from the service.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s that. While it seems unlikely Trump will stay silent forever \u2014 the Trump organization apparently tried to buy<\/a> a major stake in Parler \u2014 at least we won\u2019t have to see another tweetstorm from the former president again.<\/p>\n

Facebook, for its part, has not yet clarified how long Trump\u2019s ban will remain in effect. Although Zuckerberg said the president had been banned \u201cindefinitely,\u201d that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the same as \u201cpermanently.\u201d For that, we\u2019ll likely have to wait for a ruling from the company\u2019s oversight board \u2014 the social media\u2019s network\u2019s equivalent of a supreme court on topics of moderation \u2014 which is currently reviewing the ban<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
