Former President Donald Trump will not be permitted back on Twitter even if he runs again for office and wins, according to the companyโ€™s chief financial officer.

Asked during an interview on CNBC Wednesday whether Trumpโ€™s tweeting privileges could be restored if he wins the presidency again, CFO Ned Segal clarified that Trumpโ€™s ban is permanent.

โ€œThe way our policies work, when youโ€™re removed from the platform, youโ€™re removed from the platform,โ€ he said, โ€œwhether youโ€™re a commentator, youโ€™re a CFO, or you are a former or current public official. Remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence, and if anybody does that, we have to remove them from the service and our policies donโ€™t allow people to come back.โ€

Twitterโ€™s decision to ban Trump came amid a flurry of other tech company enforcement actions against his accounts, including Facebookโ€™s decision to prohibit Trump from posting โ€œindefinitelyโ€ and YouTubeโ€™s decision to begin issuing strikes to Trumpโ€™s video channel.
