Twitter banned and then restored the account of a man caught in a Twitter argument relating to former president Barack Obama and his controversial speech at the University of Illinois on Sept. 7.
The tweet that sparked the ban followed a retweet of a Now This post that showed a segment of Obama’s speech. The post showed Obama implying that President Trump would not stand up to Nazi sympathizers. The comment seemingly referred back to the Charlottesville, Virginia, “Unite the Right” rally of August 2017.
