Were they? I know I can see their pages, but I don't see any new content from them. realdonaldtrump is still suspended, I imagine we'll just have to wait to see what happens.
They were in Twitter jail (or whatever the term is). The account is there but they couldn’t publish new tweets.
That’s the change to watch for.
He could unban Trump, say he kept his promise, but keep the account locked so that Trump couldn’t actually tweet.
As a hypothetical example.
So, simply shadow ban them, then?
Twitter is different (although perhaps more different than it needs to be). Seeing as you ask, here is how to handle content deletion on Twitter without infantilizing users.
Don't ask a user to "delete" a tweet – something which has no effect on that tweet's visibility anyway. Just hide it and tell him why. If the user chooses to appeal, that appeal can go forward without restricting the use of the account. Give time-outs sparingly. They should be more of a final warning than a routine measure. If it's necessary to give a time-out, start the clock immediately, not when the user takes some action.
