Donald Trump on Friday night found his way around a permanent Twitter ban by using the official account for the President of the United States before his tweets were swiftly deleted.
He urged his supporters to 'STAY TUNED!' as he claimed that Twitter is working with 'Radical Left and Dems' to silence him and to silence those who voted for him.
'As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me,' he wrote.

WNU Editor: We all knew this was going to happen. Many in Washington (and their allies) are terrified of President Trump. They are now doing everything in their power to silence him.
I also expect this censorship will not stop with President Trump.
I will not be surprised if in the coming months Twitter starts to purge accounts that it will decide to be unfit. And it does not stop with Twitter. Facebook has already started to downgrade/suspend accounts that it politically disagrees with. Even Rush Limbaugh's account has been hit .... Badge of Honor: Facebook Throttles the EIB Network (Rush Limbaugh).
In the case of WNU. I do not know how long this ride will go on. But I do know that War News Updates is on Google's black-list .... It Appears That Google Has A Black List Of Conservative Sites (War News Updates Is On The List) (July 22, 2020).
Sighhh ....
One more reason why these tech and social media companies must lose their legal protections.
