According to Breitbart, the media organizations that campaigned against Trump throughout his presidency, specifically the BBC actually complained to Twitter about accounts that were sharing Trumps updates in images as well as quotes.
The 45th president on Tuesday unveiled his new website, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” which allows him to provide his thoughts that can then be shared on social media sites from which he has been banned.
The site is meant to serve as “a place to speak freely and safely,” a statement from Team Trump noted. The team is working on developing the site further to give him the ability to communicate directly with his followers.
An account appearing to belong to the former president’s new platform, @DJTDesk, emerged on social media’ but a source close to Team Trump confirmed that the account “was not created by anyone on President Trump’s team.”

Still, by Wednesday evening, Twitter had suspended the account.
Reached for comment by The Post, Twitter stood by the decision despite the identity of the user remaining unknown and seemingly not connected to the former president.

“As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” a Twitter spokesperson said.

The company’s continued position that it will not consider allowing him back on its platform, even if he were to return to public office, has rubbed many the wrong way, including some of Trump’s political opponents.
Facebook, meanwhile, ordered an indefinite ban on the president.

In the three months since banning the then-president, Facebook deferred to its Oversight Board to make a final call on letting Trump return to its platforms.
On Wednesday morning, the board announced it would be upholding the ban but said an indefinite suspension of Trump’s account was inappropriate and the company has six months to specify new penalties.

“What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country.

“The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process,” he declared.
