Summary/Abstract: Today Social media is an important part of the evolution of political communication in the United States. Twitter‘s platform for direct communication between politicians and citizens provides a unique opportunity to present their ideas, thoughts, arguments, and suggestions. Twitter‘s decision to suspend political advertising at the end of 2019 and the subsequent ban on Donald Trump‘s profile in early 2021 have provoked polarizing reactions inside and outside the country. Analyzing Twitter‘s motives, the president‘s response, and the leg framework of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, this study examines the implications of the ban on modern American democracy and the resulting negatives.
