X seems to be suppressing Trump-related searches

If you wish to discover a particular tweet by Donald Trump, you will have to undergo his timeline and search for it your self. In line with Mediaite, X has switched off the flexibility to seek for Trump's tweets. Because the publication explains, you are able to do a seek for particular posts by typing "from:[username without the @ symbol]" adopted by the time period or phrase you're in search of. 

So if you wish to see the previous president's tweet whereby he stated that the COVID circumstances and deaths are "far exaggerated in the US" as a result of CDC's "ridiculous methodology of willpower," you could possibly do a seek for "from:realDonaldTrump COVID." That's alleged to deliver up all his tweets with the time period "COVID," besides… it doesn't. What does present up is a collection of his tweets that don't even seem in chronological order. We had been capable of replicate the outcomes Mediaite has reported, as you possibly can see under.

The previous president's Twitter account was suspended in 2021 after the corporate decided that a few of his tweets violated its insurance policies. His was kicked out of the web site after the January 6 assault on the US Capitol. Trump sued Twitter in an try to get his account again, however it wasn't till Elon Musk took over that he was reinstated. His first and solely put up since then was his mug shot, which was taken when he was booked on expenses that he conspired to overturn the outcomes of 2020 Presidential election. 

As Mediaite notes, it's not fairly clear why this occurring. Different accounts that had been suspended previously after which reinstated, similar to Alex Jones', stay searchable. The accounts of different high-profile political personalities, similar to Kamala Harris, stay searchable, as effectively. A software program engineer that the publication talked to claimed that it was a deliberate transfer on X's half, seeing as the problem doesn't appear to have an effect on different beforehand suspended customers. We reached out to X for a press release and can replace this put up if we hear again. It's price noting, nonetheless, that there's a free useful resource known as "Trump Twitter Archive" that incorporates a searchable database of Trump's tweets, and it nonetheless works completely.
