【Writer's Bullpen (2009)】
The Writer's Bullpen (2009)chances of Twitter banning President Trump over his "nuclear button" tweet just plummeted to slim-to-none.
Twitter put out a statement Friday addressing the micro-blogging network's stance on political figures tweeting: Basically, Twitter said it won't block someone like Trump or remove their controversial tweets. The response comes a few days after Trump kicked off the new year with a barrage of incendiary tweets, including one with a North Korea-aimed threat about his massive "nuclear button."

Twitter says blocking a world leader "would hide important information people should be able to see and debate. It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions."
The post went on to explain that tweets from world leaders are reviewed by the company, keeping context in mind.
This sounds similar to the reasoning Twitter gave after Trump retweeted anti-Muslim propaganda last month. That incident also spurred calls to remove Trump from Twitter for violating company policy by using hate speech and promoting violence. Trump's account didn't disappear.
In what seems like a veiled comment about Trump and his wildly popular Twitter account, the company assured users Friday that it works to "remain unbiased with the public interest in mind" and that "no one person's account drives Twitter's growth, or influences these decisions."
Protests at Twitter headquarters earlier this week strongly urged Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to remove Trump from the social platform.
Now we know that's not going to happen any time soon.
