The former Twitter contractor who claims he shut down President Donald Trump\u2019s account on the social media platform last month told Reuters<\/a> in an interview in his native Germany that he did so by accident.<\/p>\n

Still, Bahtiyar Duysak said he believes some of Trump\u2019s activity on Twitter violates the website\u2019s rules against hate speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to be an expert to understand that a policy violation has happened, that the rules were broken and that this can lead to hatred being spread,\u201d said Duysak, who worked as a safety policy operations agent at Twitter beginning last summer.<\/p>\n

Duysak specifically pointed to Trump\u2019s retweeting of anti-Muslim videos from a far-right, ultranationalist British group as an example of the president violating Twitter\u2019s prohibition on hate speech.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Twitter account, the president\u2019s preferred social media platform, went offline early last month for roughly 11 minutes. Duysak, who was an hour away from the end of his final day at Twitter\u2019s San Francisco offices, said he clicked \u201ca few wrong things which I shouldn\u2019t have done.\u201d He told Reuters he believed he was dealing with one of the many fake Trump accounts that exist on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should always double-check things before taking an action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duysak said he had apologized to Twitter for the removal of Trump\u2019s account and made peace with the social media giant.<\/p>\n
