Man Who Deactivated Trump's Twitter Account: 'I Didn't Break Any Rules' : The Two
Bahtiyar Duysak
TechCrunch  the industry website owned by AOL  has tracked down the ex-Twitter employee it says is responsible for the Nov. 2 incident: His name is  Bahtiyar Duysak   and he is described by the tech site as "a twenty-something with Turkish roots who was born and raised in Germany."
Twitter has declined to confirm his identity. However   Duysak  says he was a contractor at management services company Pro Unlimited and had been assigned to Twitter's Trust and Safety division  the department that sorts through alerts from users reporting abusive behavior or violations of the company's terms of service.
On his last day at Twitter HQ in San Francisco   Duysak  says  he  received a report on the president's account. TechCrunch writes: "as a final  throwaway gesture   he  put the wheels in motion to deactivate it. Then  he  closed  his  computer and left the building."
 He  says  he  didn't think the account would actually be deactivated and  in any case  calls the whole thing a "mistake."
However   Duysak  contends that  he  didn't do anything wrong either. "I didn't hack anyone "  he  tells the tech site. "I didn't break any rules."
 He  said as a consequence of  his  actions   he 's been hounded by reporters on social media and that  he  hopes by coming forward  he  can clear the air and "continue an ordinary life."
