Twitter sees no way back for ex-President Donald Trump, who has been banned from the platform.
“Our rules are intended to ensure that nobody incites violence.
If someone does that, we remove them from the platform - and our rules do not allow people to come back, ”said CFO Ned Segal on CNBC on Wednesday.
Twitter blocked Trump in early January around two weeks before the end of his term in office.
The trigger was the storming of the US Capitol by his supporters - and that the President expressed sympathy for them and continued to claim without evidence that the victory in the presidential election had been stolen from him through massive fraud.
Trump then blocked Facebook too;
the online network is now having the move checked by an independent body that can overturn the company's decision.
Twitter does not have such a body.

"The way our rules work: If you were removed from the platform, you were removed from the platform - regardless of whether you are a commentator, a finance director or a former or incumbent public servant," said Segal.
However, leaders from other, more authoritarian states still have the opportunity to spread their hateful messages on Twitter, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from Iran.
Critics accuse Twitter of applying double standards.
His Twitter account with more than 80 million subscribers was Trump's most important communication channel for years.
After controversial tweets from the president, the short message service was repeatedly asked to block him at least temporarily.
Twitter shied away from it until the attack on the Capitol and limited itself to warning notices, among other things, in the case of false claims about the outcome of the US presidential election and the corona virus.
