People are now begging Twitter to ban Trump, even though it probably never will
On September 25 of last year, The A.V. Club published a story with the following headline: “Twitter releases statement confirming it’ll never ban Trump.” We’ve been known to have some fun around here, whether it’s by subtly begging George Clooney to send us money or by saying “Papa John is Papa gone,” but this wasn’t one of those wacky Newswires. This was a pretty straightforward one about a pretty straightforward statement that Twitter made in which it indicated that the “newsworthiness” of Donald Trump’s Twitter page makes him essentially exempt from any and all of its normal policies. In other words, people pay more attention to Twitter because of Trump, and so Twitter—save for one accident—has no intention of getting rid of him.
