Twitter 發表聲明解釋何以不禁止 Donald Trumps 的帳號

作為現任美國總統的 Donald Trump，每次言論都是語出驚人，當中他的 Twitter 帳戶更加是無定向的爆發，但卻讓很多人在想，何以 Twitter 在 Donald Trump 多次冒犯亦仍能放縱，所說的是多次違反了 Twitter 的服務條款。其中一則關於發文反擊北韓領袖金正恩，更有抗議者出現在 Twitter 總部外，要求禁止 Donald Trumps 的帳號。

而 Twitter 隨後在其博客上發表聲明：

There’s been a lot of discussion about political figures and world leaders on Twitter, and we want to share our stance. Twitter is here to serve and help advance the global, public conversation. Elected world leaders play a critical role in that conversation because of their outsized impact on our society. Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should see and debate. We review Tweets by leaders within the political context that defines them, and enforce our rules accordingly.

如此一說，Twitter 的意思便是不會阻止政治人物和領導人的討論，抑還是「得罪方丈的後果大家都知道吧？」
