The San Francisco company has faced questions about why it allows Trump to keep a Twitter account at all because it does not allow bullying on its site. In 2017, a rogue Twitter worker deleted Trump’s account, which was restored in about 10 minutes. The feature has yet to be used against any world leader’s account, including Trump’s. The Trump administration has threatened to take action against social media companies for censorship, and any action Twitter takes against Trump’s account is likely to be met with backlash.
