The permanent suspension of the then outgoing president's account was decided by the social media in January, following the assault on Capitol Hill.
This is the most extreme 'sanction' foreseen by Twitter's policy, and there is no going back.
The interview with Cnbc concerns the quarterly data of the platform: Twitter reported that it recorded above-average growth in the period, despite "unusual circumstances".
While Twitter did not explicitly say what the "unusual circumstances" were, it is likely the reference is to the suspension and then exclusion of President Trump on January 8, after he continued to post messages encouraging the January 6 assault.
Twitter also banned thousands of accounts linked to the Qanon movement in the same weeks.
