What would happen if you tweeted the same things the president does?

In order to illustrate that Trump gets unfair special treatment from Twitter, one guy created a new account and simply Tweeted the exact same thing as Trump. He was soon suspended for twelve hours, exposing Twitter’s hypocrisy.

Stay tuned. He’s going to resume when his suspension is lifted, although it may not work now that Twitter is aware of his scheme.

  1. I thought Twitter had been very upfront about the fact they were allowing Trump to violate their TOS because even his offensive tweets are “newsworthy.”

    1. Yes, they’ve been very clear about what they are doing and why. That doesn’t make what they are doing right.

    2. Really they meant to say they allow it because he brings in views and incites responses on the platform.

      It’s a self fulfilling loop to say they’re newsworthy, as he’s the one creating them to CREATE the ‘news’. If he wasn’t on the platform, then they wouldn’t be newsworthy because he’s not creating it.

      It’s ridiculous logic. I wish corporations would just flat out say what they mean. Trump brings traffic and starts arguments that bring more traffic, which increases advertising revenue – which is by far their main revenue source obviously.

  2. Kind of interesting but there is one major difference. One is a random individual and the other is POTUS. What I mean by that is that when Trump tweets “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”, he actually has the authority to authorize legal measures of law enforcement, whereas random individual, by stating the same thing, is calling for illegal violence. He has no authority to authorize legal measures and is therefore calling for citizens to pick up arms and start shooting people. I’d be interested to see if this happens with other tweets.

    1. So it’s literally worse when Trump does it, because it might not be just loose talk.
      & yeah, should be fun to watch. Bets on number of tweets til he’s banned?
