“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,” Twitter said in a tweet late on Thursday.

the trick is to tweet something from Trump's account that he might be tempted to just leave up and see where it goes

"Speaker Ryan understands that I will not sign ANY other legislation until we legally restore our very sacred Christian tradition of PRIMAE NOCTIS!"

npr had a short bit about the president's twitter where they were saying how you should be VERY SCARED that twitter's security is so bad that one lowly FOREIGN contractor could delete the president's account!!!

like the whole time it was just assumed that the president is entitled to a twitter account and that him not having one would be unimaginably harmful to the country

they also said things like "people in the cyber security community are VERY CONCERNED about this!" so thread are you sufficient levels of very concerned

The legit concern isn't about deletion of the Angry Yam's account, it's about the possibility that someone internally could access it and tweet from it because it doesn't look like there were much in the ways of a security protocol in place. The repercussions of a fake tweet from the President's official account could be pretty grave.

what if someone reported one of trumps warmonger tweets for advocating violence and the twitter person was just like "yeah, that checks out - BAN"

that's what i assume happened, because the alternative is that people have arbitrary access to delete accounts
