Twitter: world leaders have a separate status

san francisco - Twitter accounts of world leaders have a special status with the social network. 'Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information that people should see and discuss,' the organization said. Twitter reacted- without calling him- on calls to keep the US President Donald Trump from the network.

The messaging service previously stated that news worthiness and the question of whether a tweet is of public interest are factors that are weighed.

Trump tweeted last week that he has a much bigger and more powerful nuclear button than North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Critics say that Trump's dominant presence on Twitter is a danger to the world and is in violation of the ban on threats on the network.

Twitter states, however, that even if a world leader would be banned, it would not silence him.
