I agree about the bad timing. They could have kept the accounts on, assigning a task force to review each post until 20th Jan. It looks to me like a symbolic gesture which is gonna fuel conspiracies and anger. I mean, the presidential account is still on so the guy is still able to tweet.

He tried. He's burned through quite a few accounts trying to tweet.

They have banned the presidential account as well.

Exactly so. It would've been the smartest to clip the head off once the most momentum would have been blown off. That could've choked the entire movement.

The fact that I was heavily downvoted and flagged for stating the opinion speaks enough about what kind of knee-jerk reactions people are taking towards Trumpistas.
