"Damnatio Memoriae"
Twitter to Trump
[Translation: To the emperor Vespasian Augustus, father of the country, to Titus Caesar (to Domitian - erased) Caesar, sons of the Augustus out of public expenses from a decree of the decurions].
Twitter will not allow the National Archives to make former President Donald Trump’s past tweets from his @realDonaldTrump account available on the social media platform, the company told POLITICO.1
DAMNATIO MEMORIAE: is the Latin phrase literally meaning "damnation of memory" in the sense of a judgment that a person must not be remembered. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate upon traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State.
Forgey, Quint (2021). Twitter won’t let National Archives revive @realDonaldTrump. Politico, April 7.
This is a crime against humanity. Literally. When a tantrum-throwing woke "elite" decides to deny historians access to significant information because he doesn't like its author, we are all hurt. I doubt Twitter and other Big Tech CEOs hold Mr. Trump in greater disdain than I; simply deciding on behalf of the rest of us that there was no Presidency between 2017 and 2021 is madness.
