Expect renewed pressure now on Twitter to suspend Trump rather than allow him back onto the platform. As @AdamS told me in a call just now: https://t.co/zfVzZmCt2Q — PolitiTweet.org

A Twitter spokesperson officially confirms to me that Trump has deleted the three tweets required to restore his tweeting privileges, clearing the way for him to regain control of his account today. Twitter had already obliquely confirmed as much last night (see thread). — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter wouldn't explicitly confirm that Trump has deleted the tweets, but based on the notice-language it said it applies when a violative tweet is deleted, it seems that is what has happened. — PolitiTweet.org

The second is what currently appears in lieu of the tweets Trump was told he needed to delete in order to start the 12-hour countdown and ultimately restore his account access. https://t.co/6XFlwyhe9F — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter told me when a tweet has violated the rules but not been deleted, the notice will say "This tweet is no longer available." When the account owner deletes the tweet, the label updates to read "This tweet is no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules." — PolitiTweet.org

Turns out Twitter had not removed Trump's tweets but simply masked them, meaning they were still technically on Trump's profile. Hence the requirement that he delete the tweets himself. This is the SOP for accounts locked due to violative content, Twitter later told me. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this evening, I asked Twitter to clarify its statement announcing a 12-hour lock on Trump's account beginning after he deletes the tweets. The statement led to confusion because from the average user's perspective, the tweets had already vanished, replaced by a label. — PolitiTweet.org
