It’s no secret that President Trump is the reigning king of Twitter. His no holds barred style tweets have become second nature to the world leader throughout his presidency, if not sometimes landing him in hot water with the social platform. Twitter has confirmed that they will be cracking down on President Trump’s Twitter after Inauguration Day, a move that could easily end with Trump’s account being indefinitely suspended.

Once Trump leaves the White House and becomes a private citizen he will lose the protections Twitter affords world leaders. Private citizens are subject to stricter moderation standards on the platform.

The Daily Wire reports:

According to Twitter’s “principles & approach” to world leaders, “if a Tweet from a world leader does violate the Twitter Rules but there is a clear public interest value to keeping the Tweet on the service, we may place it behind a notice that provides context about the violation and allows people to click through should they wish to see the content.”

Trump will lose that stipulation at noon on Jan. 20, a Twitter spokesperson told Forbes last Thursday on condition of anonymity, also saying the company does not have “special rules” for dealing with Trump.

Despite Trump’s status as the president of the United States, Twitter has been cracking down on many of his tweets since Election Day that have questioned the integrity of the election results, either hiding them or flagging them and linking to articles that asserts the results are trustworthy. In the two days following the election, Twitter labeled 50% of his tweets, according to Forbes.

To the applause of many on the Left, Twitter slapped its first fact-check label over a Trump tweet in May. The platform rationalized the move by pointing to its newly announced “misleading information” policy, rolled out amid the COVID lockdowns. The new policy blocks out initial posts, replacing them with “labels and warning messages to provide additional explanations or clarifications” on tweets that might present some “risk” of “harm” to the public. Only after clicking on the censoring label can a user read the tweet containing the supposedly “misleading” or “disputed” or “unverified” claim.

Twitter flagged President Trump’s tweet pertaining to the election with a message reading, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”
