Twitter does not want to restrict accounts of Heads of State or Government even if y may violate rules of network with ir tweets. The ministry shared that senior politicians would enjoy a special status. Their statements would have a huge impact on society, it was said in an opinion of company.

This is why Twitter fights against demand to shut down account of US President Donald Trump. The company argued that it would delete controversial tweets, would withhold important information that people experienced and about which y would have to debate. Nor would a politician be silent by deleting individual tweets or his account. A necessary discussion on words or actions would, however, be more difficult, it is stated in opinion.

Twitter wants to help drive public, global conversation, writes company. Already in September, Twitter had made it clear that "message value" and question of wher a tweet was of "public interest" would be checked before a deletion.

Are Trump's tweets jeopardizing world peace?

The background is Trump's recent utterance, with a "much larger" and more powerful Atomknopf than North Korea's head of state Kim Jong-un. Critics see in tweet and Trump's abiding presence on Twitter a threat to world peace and a violation of Twitter rules to statements of violence.

At beginning of November, Trump's account was locked once – for eleven minutes. At that time, company made a single employee responsible for lock. Trump's account @realdonaldtrump currently has more than 46 million followers.
