Permanent implies forever while suspension implies temporary, so I’m not sure which it actually is.
But one thing I do know is this is fucking wonderful. Too bad it took a literal coup attempt for Twitter to finally do something about this fucker.

Basically they waited until he couldn’t do anything to them. I mean, I’m glad he’s gone, but he’s been blatantly violating ToS for years.
Sorry, didn’t mean to reply to you on that @alahmnat - but I guess it works in context so…

Technically true, although Twitter did suppress some of Washington’s tweets during the Whiskey Rebellion, and he was threatened with further moderation action.

this is my thought, too – seems kinda wishy-washy on twitter’s part. it’s like “jumbo shrimp” for the tech age.

I think they are just hedging their way to a potential reversal in the future.

Does this means Trump is no longer important? Wasn’t that their reasoning for keeping him on there?

Just wait for the fireworks on the 20th.
They will make the fireworks at the end of Star Wars look like sparklers.

“Suspended” is basically just Twitter’s word for “banned”. It’s distinct from “deleted”, but every Twitter account that gets banned and not perma-deleted says “account suspended” if you try to visit the profile.
