For all of 11 minutes, a Twitter employee deactivated President Donald Trump’s account on his last day of work. He probably considered it his last act of service to humanity. While it left Twitter’s management with egg on the face, users celebrated a dream come true.
See below:
Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

Not a hero
Who asked you?
Twitter in breach
WOW: Disgruntled Twitter employee deleted the President of the United States Twitter account on his last day of work. How many other SJW's work there, @jack?

A disgruntled employee deleted @realDonaldTrump's Twitter account. I imagine @jack will have to make a call to the White House to apologize to President Trump. Awkward.

"If" a disgruntled Twitter employee went into President Trump's account and the Tweets are considered Federal Records, @realDonaldTrump DMs are too IF he uses them, right? Would they be classified? 🤨
A low-level employee had access…@jack has some explaining to do.

A firestorm coming
Salut, but my dude best watch out, might be open to federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1362:
