Donald Trump will be an exception to the main problem with Twitter bans: they are routinely and overtly evaded. This is a problem of both policy and capacity. 
Policy:
* make it a violation to knowingly promote banned accounts.
* if you use human capacity, as well as algorithms, could track the ways #myfirsttweet that banned accounts try to recover their followers quickly.
Capacity: the key issue.

On 9th January 2021 the same notorious antisemite that had been banned > 30 times when I wrote a July 2019 piece about it (and gave Twitter a dossier compiled by others) has a new #myfirsttweet tweet boasting about being a banned user.
It would be exceptionally useful if media talking about Twitter bans could mention this capacity issue of whether enforcement is going to be voluntary.
A single civic minded user of this site identified 33 further respawns of this notorious anti-semitic banned user since Sept 2019 (supplying regular reports to Twitter). Gets zapped more efficiently than pre-2019 though Covid pressure slowed the public reporting system down a lot
