The revelations in the latest Twitter Files.
Twitter Files from January 8, 2021, the day former President Trump was banned from Twitter, show Twitter’s safety team admitting that Trump’s final tweets didn’t violate the rules before other staff reframed them as “coded incitement to further violence” and then used this far-reaching phrase to justify banning him from the platform.

Twitter publicly cited two tweets to justify its Trump ban — a tweet thanking the 75 million Americans who voted for him and a tweet announcing that he would not be attending the January 20, 2021 Inauguration of Joe Biden.
Twitter claimed that the two tweets violated the platform’s “Glorification of Violence” policy.
But the fifth batch of Twitter Files, which were released by journalist Bari Weiss, show Twitter employees, many of whom were pushing for Trump to be banned, admitting that the first tweet wasn’t violative, hours before he was banned from the platform.
“I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement,” one employee wrote.
“Don’t see the incitement angle here,” another staffer said.
Twitter policy official Anika Navaroli agreed that she also was “not seeing clear or coded incitement in the DJT tweet.”
Navaroli added: “I’ll respond in the elections channel and say that our team has assessed and found no vios [violations] for the DJT one.”
