In a recent report, an employee at Twitter shut down President Donald Trumps twitter account for 11 minutes on their last day of work. President Trump responded by tweeting his account was taken down by a “rouge employee”. He is making me think that he is the Emperor and the employee is a member of the rebel alliance.

Anyway…
CNN discusses why this could be really bad…
- Imagine if someone tweeted from the Presidents account, “I just OK’d nuclear action against N. Korea”.
- Social Media companies have been under attack by Washington because of evidence pointing to foreign states utilizing social media sites to pass along misleading, and even false stories that were quoted by high ranking political figures.
- Do we feel comfortable with our President using a platform like Twitter to communicate his political messages and actions to the country and/or world? We are putting a lot of trust in Twitter security, and their ability to keep these high profile users from being seduced and preaching questionable information as facts.
