Former CIA agent wants to buy Twitter and extinguish Trump's account
The former secret agent of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Valerie Plame Wilson, has launched a $ 1 billion campaign to buy Twitter to ban US President Donald Trump from accessing the social network, Anadolu Agency (AA) reports.
"If Twitter executives do not want to extinguish Trump's violence and hatred, then it's on us," she wrote, using the #BuyTwitter and #BanTrump hashtags.
On the "GoFundMe" page, where he collects funds, Wilson warns that Trump's Twitter posts "harm the state and put people in the wrong way".
In the campaign that began August 18 to date, it managed to raise nearly $ 80,000.
Since Twitter's purchasing value is $ 12.3 billion, Wilson would not be able to decide on issues like these, but would have a significant shareholder influence as a significant shareholder.
Twitter was not advertising about the campaign.
Wilson left the CIA in 2005 after her identity was leaked to the media by George W. Bush administration in 2003. It is believed that leaking information was aimed at discrediting her husband, Joe Wilson, a former diplomat who criticized Bush's invasion of Iraq.
