at the risk of providing more heat than light, trump violated the Presidential Records Act repeatedly by later taking down (aka destroying) his own unwise tweets. this repeated violation of law using twitter itself would have been enough for twitter to either restrict his using any mechanism for revision or deletion or even account termination for aup violations. i pointed this out to them 3.91 years ago.
First, findings of violation of law are done in courts, not by you. Second, as specifically regards Twitter: the Library of Congress had been archiving all tweets since 2010. And only recently, on 31DEC2017, moved to archiving "some" tweets. Official records exist there. Additionally, the President has two accounts at his disposal and has demonstrated consistently different behavior between them, i.e. the @potus account is used for official communications and @realdonaldtrump for personal communications with the public. The former is indeed archived under the PRA. Third, the standard put forth in your opinion -- both ill informed and ill conceived -- would also refer to FOIA and the various States' FOI laws. If what you allege is true, the singling out of this one official is disingenuous in the extreme. -- . ___ ___ . . ___ . \ / |\ |\ \ . _\_ /__ |-\ |-\ \__
