Seriously, what if this person had tweeted about a fictional nuclear strike on North Korea?

It is shocking that some random Twitter employee could shut down the president's account. What if they instead had tweeted fake messages?

Would they have been more likely to then Trump in the same time? If not, I don't really see the issue

It’s creepy because his tweets are so erratic, you could totally tweet crazy stuff and no one would think anything was off.

There's no reason to assume a Twitter employee can tweet as someone else. But they do have the ability to suspend accounts as part of job.

This is not a “Twitter employees have too much access” problem. This is a “POTUS routinely uses Twitter for foreign policy” problem.

If Obama’s account tweeted something like that, everybody would rightly assume it was hacked.

Right. Seems to me that employee should get like a Medal of Honor or something.
