TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Twitter Inc faced questions on Friday [11-3-17] about its approach to internal security after a company employee briefly deactivated U.S. President Donald Trump’s account.
The 11-minute blackout of the @realDonaldTrump account late on Thursday drew widespread attention on the microblogging site. Twitter is already grappling with criticism of its handling of account suspensions, user abuse and changes to its terms of service.
Twitter on Friday declined to answer questions including how many employees can suspend an account or what special protections there are for high-profile users like Trump…
The company on Friday separately announced minor updates to its rules, the latest in a string of changes designed to improve user experience.”
