U.S. social media Twitter’s share price plunged nearly 15% after it deleted President Trump‘s account. Recently, Project Veritas released an internal video from Twitter that shows Twitter boss Jack Dorsey declaring that Twitter’s censorship of posts will be “long-term” and It’s broader.
In the evening of Jan. 14, the Truth Project, a media outlet that specializes in revealing insider information, released a captioned video from Twitter Inc.
In the video, Jack Dorsey, founder and CEO of the social media platform Twitter, said, “We’re focused on one account (@PresidentTrump) right now, but it’s going to be more than one account, and it’s going to be longer than this week, the next few weeks, even after the inauguration. We have to be prepared for that.
So the focus now is of course on this account (@PresidentTrump) and its connection to real-world violence. But we also need to think about longer periods of time as it evolves, and I don’t think that’s going to end anytime soon.
The actions that we take today, like for Q, for example, like this, is a broader versus a deeper approach that we should take. So there’s a lot of work to be done and a lot of effort to be expended by our team on this particular issue.
Fox host Tucker Carlson commented on the video above, “Thanks to James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, we know that Dorsey has plans to censor us all after the Trump era, to silence Trump Just the beginning, who’s next? You guys!”
Carlson believes that Twitter is trying to “control you, control the country that you thought would always be yours. Sorry, there is a national crisis going on and we have no choice.”
Dorsey issued a public statement on the 14th, admitting that deleting President Trump’s account “sets a dangerous precedent” and “deepens the divisions in America”; however, he believes that the decision to permanently delete Trump’s account is “the right thing to do”.
Twitter used to be Trump’s main communication tool, and he used the platform to send messages directly to his 88 million subscribers every day.
On Jan. 6, the U.S. Congress held a joint session to certify a new president. During the session, violence broke out at the Capitol, with both left media and left-wing politicians pointing the finger at the president.
At around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 8, Twitter announced the permanent removal of President Trump’s account.

Twitter believes that two tweets posted by Trump on the same day were the cause of the account cancellation action.
Trump tweeted on the morning of the 8th, “The 75 million great American patriots who voted for me, (for) ‘America First’ and ‘America Great Again,’ (their) tremendous vocalizations extend into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”
Trump later posted that he would not be attending Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
Twitter claimed that the two posts violated its “violent glorification policy. The assessment determined that Trump’s last two posts were likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the crimes that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Then, subsequently, social media platforms and big tech companies such as Facebook, Google (google), and Apple (apple), collectively shut down Trump’s accounts on various platforms in an attempt to block all civil outlets for Trump’s voice.
In addition to blocking Trump’s accounts, most social media sites have now blocked Trump and some of his cronies’ access to their accounts. This weekend Twitter once again deleted 70,000 pro-Trump accounts.
But a few days after blocking Trump accounts. According to various financial media sources, Twitter’s stock price plunged more than 12% on the 11th, which means that the company evaporated $5 billion in one day. As of 5pm on the 15th, Twitter’s stock price had dropped more than 15% to $45.18 from $53.26 on the 6th.
The valuation of Twitter Inc. plummeted ten days after the sealing of President Trump.
