Twitter suspends pro-Trump meme creator for copyright violation

San Francisco:  Twitter briefly suspended account of Carpe Donktum (real name Logan Cook), a prolific supporter of US President Donald Trump and meme creator who shared a fake video showing Trump killing off journalists and critics.
The video was played at a pro-Trump event in Florida over the weekend, causing significant uproar among the media, The New York Times reported on Monday.
After suspending Donktum’s account, Twitter said the problem was copyright violation (reported by Universal Music Group) not the content.
“Reached for comment, a Twitter representative said the company took down the account in response to a complaint from a copyright holder,” reports The Verge.
The fake Trump video was created by TheGeekzTeam, a group of creators owned by Donktum. His account was later restored.
Donktum said the video that triggered the copyright takedown was a Super Bowl commercial posted in early February 2018.
