On Thursday afternoon the twitter account of American president Donald Trump disappeared for 11 minutes. A blue screen showing “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” appeared to the users who were trying to check president’s account.
Twitter said we have investigated the problem and taking steps to avoid it happening again, the @TwitterGov account wrote: “Through our investigation, we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review.”
