As it turns out, this was due to &#8220;human error by a Twitter employee.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> During the 11 minutes his account was down, Twitter was abuzz with speculation about what had happened: Did the social network ban the president of the United States for something he said? Was he suddenly <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2017\/10\/17\/technology\/business\/twitter-content-moderation-policy\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">in violation of new policy regarding hate speech<\/a>? Did it have something to do with the <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/a377ej\/facebook-instagram-russian-ads\" target=\"_blank\">hearings on Capitol Hill about Russian trolls using social media<\/a> to sow division among the American people?<\/p>\n<p> Before too much speculation could occur, Donald Trump&#8217;s account was back online, and according to Twitter, it was all just an accident.
