Donald Trump’s social media accounts; During the 2020 Presidential Election, he was shut down for manipulating the public, making election irregularities, and supporting the 2021 US Capitol raid. Trump, whose official accounts were closed by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, first filed a lawsuit against Twitter.
Trump, who was banned by Twitter on January 8, was suspended from the platform indefinitely on the grounds that he tweeted in support of the Congress building approvals on January 6.
In January, it was announced that Trump’s account was banned with the possibility of provoking more violence in the future. The account, which had exactly 88 million followers before the account was permanently closed, has been closed for about 8 months.
According to a study by a researcher after the account was closed, misinformation on social media dropped by 73 percent after the Donald Trump Twitter account was banned.
