at the risk of providing more heat than light, trump violated the
Presidential Records Act repeatedly by later taking down (aka destroying)

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.
