Twitter has threatened to permanently ban US President Donald Trump from the platform for flouting its civic integrity rules.
The messaging platform ordered the US President to remove three of his rule-breaking tweets.
Twitter on Wednesday locked US President Donald Trump for 12 hours and said his account will remain locked if the offending messages are not taken down.
