On Thursday night around 7 p.m. ET, President Trump's verified @realDonaldTrump account briefly went offline. Anyone who went to his page was given the generic blue landing page that read, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"
It was later learned that it wasn't a glitch but the work of a Twitter employee on his or her last day at work. Initially, one of the social media site's verified accounts said Trump's feed was "inadvertently deactivated due to a human error."
But a couple of hours later, Twitter announced further investigation revealed "a Twitter customer support employee did this on the employee's last day." The company said it's conducting "a full internal review" of the incident.
Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF— Twitter Government (@TwitterGov) November 3, 2017
Trump's account was restored in less than one hour!
