Twitter’s German-listed shares slumped as much as eight per cent on Monday, the first trading day after it permanently suspended US President Donald Trump’s account late last Friday.

The company said the suspension of Trump’s account, which had more than 88 million followers, was due to the risk of further violence, following the storming of the US Capitol last Wednesday.

At 1011 GMT, the social media firm’s US-listed shares were also off 6.8 per cent at $47.94 in thin premarket trading, according to Reuters.

It was the first time Twitter banned a head of state, sparking a worldwide controversy over the impact US tech giants can have on free speech and democracy more broadly.

For Twitter’s balance sheet itself, the decision to ban the US president is expected to have a moderate negative impact.

“Expect slight user decline, though engagement erosion is a bigger question,” Berstein analysts wrote in a note looking into the issue.

Far-right groups maintain a vigorous online presence on digital platforms like Parler, Gab, MeWe, Zello and Telegram and could disengage from mainstream social media. There could also be additional costs for Twitter and others as they seek to further moderate content uploaded by their users.

“Incremental moderation may be welcome but it’s not cheap and could benefit Facebook that already employs a moderation army (around six times) larger than Twitter’s workforce,” Berstein analysts said.

Facebook Inc has suspended Trump’s account until at least the end of his presidential term later this month.

I expect more of this to come with Jack's new code war against Mark.
Mark is not known to take it easy with competitors.


Trump on the other hand is a fraud who Instead of making America great again (MAGA) has brought America down.

It's expected. How could you deactivate 'permanently' the account of the leader of the free world, that was a bit if high handyness on the part of the Twitter boss.
Despite Trump's irrational tweets, they shouldn't have done it. That means invariably the Twitter boss gets to cherry pick who to ban and who not to ban. I think these guys are becoming overlords. Time to clip their wings

Trump is a capitalist and has always tried his best for the capital market thru stimulus and other moves .So it is no surprise that the market is reacting this way.
Same way many ran to bitcoin as a safe haven.
