After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.

Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open. blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules and cannot use Twitter to incite violence. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.

As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy.
help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…
This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.
Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.

In regard to the ongoing situation in Washington, D.C., we are working proactively to protect the health of the public conversation occurring on the service and will take action on any content that violates the Twitter Rules.
Threats of and calls to violence are against the Twitter Rules, and we are enforcing our policies accordingly.
In addition, we have been significantly restricting engagement with Tweets labeled under our Civic Integrity Policy due to the risk of violence. This means these labeled Tweets will not be able to be replied to, Retweeted, or liked.

We want to provide much needed clarity around the actions we’ve taken with respect to two NY Post articles that were first Tweeted this morning.
The images contained in the articles include personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers — which violate our rules.
help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…
As noted this morning, we also currently view materials included in the articles as violations of our Hacked Materials Policy.

We placed a public interest notice on this Tweet for violating our Civic Integrity Policy, specifically for encouraging people to potentially vote twice.
Voting twice in North Carolina is illegal: ncsbe.gov/news/press-rel…
To protect people on Twitter, we err on the side of limiting the circulation of Tweets which advise people to take actions which could be illegal in the context of voting or result in the invalidation of their votes.

At Twitter, we’re committed to protecting people’s ability to express their fundamental civil rights safely — especially voting. That’s why we’re expanding our Civic Integrity Policy to protect against attempts to undermine vital democratic processes. blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
Under this expanded policy, we will label or remove false or misleading information intended to undermine public confidence in an election or other civic process. We will begin enforcing this updated policy in 7 days.
Amid #COVID19, the conversation happening on Twitter has become even more important and nuanced as more voters turn to mail-in voting and more people are mobilized online. We’re updating our policies and enforcement guidance to better reflect that changing conversation.

On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and every day, we can all promote awareness and encourage action to prevent suicide and self harm. #WSPD2020
Twitter is where people can share their truths and find comfort in community. Since the launch of our #thereishelp prompts in 2018, we’ve continued to expand the feature to connect people with resources when searching certain terms related to suicide and self harm.
This month, we’ve expanded the feature to six more countries. Access to support is key. Suicide rates can increase in prolonged crises, and COVID-19 has left many people vulnerable to mental health problems. If you or anyone you know is suffering, remember #ThereIsHelp.
