Twitter has permanently suspended the account of a right-wing online personality for violating its copyright policy, a week after he posted a doctored video of toddlers that was then shared by United States President Donald Trump. Last week, Twitter put a "manipulated media" designation on a tweet from Trump that showed a doctored news clip from CNN. The doctored video was first posted by Carpe Donktum, an account known to support Trump. Noting that Twitter did not provide a way to get the suspended account back, "I assume they intend this to be final and permanent," the post said. Donktum's account was revoked for eight days last July, over a video depicting Trump as a cowboy attacking CNN journalist Jim Acosta.
