Twitter blocks Donald Trump’s account for 12 hours, Facebook for 24

Washington – The president Donald Trump justified this Wednesday in a tweet the assault on the Capitol by his supporters, alleging that he was responding to an alleged fraud that robbed him of victory in the elections, something of which there is no test.

Twitter took unprecedented action to date and removed that president’s comment, which usually only marks it as a disputed opinion or one that doesn’t address the facts, while blocking the president’s account for 12 hours amid the violence that has been unleashed in the capital.

“These are things and events that happen when an overwhelming electoral victory is snatched so abruptly and vitiated by the great patriots who have been treated so unfairly and badly for so long. Go home and in peace ‘Remember this day forever! “, Indicated the tweet now deleted.

After the assault of his supporters on the Capitol, Trump issued several messages in which he was not critical of the violent flattening of the legislative seat and limited himself to asking “back home” to the thousands of people who they met today in Washington to protest the certification of the electoral victory of Democrat Joe Biden, elected president in accordance with the country’s electoral rules.

Trump has constantly alleged fraud, even though there is no evidence of it, something that has led Twitter to mark these comments as inaccurate and disputed so that it cannot be retweeted or interacted with.

“As a result of the current situation of violence in Washington DC we have proceeded to remove three tweets from (the account) @realDonaldTrump that were posted today for repeated and severe violations of our civic integrity policy.” has indicated Twitter in a statement.

As a result of this measure, Twitter suspended the president’s account for 12 hours as a mark of his internal policy.

Twitter has assured that further violations of its rules of civility and against violence by Donald Trump will lead to the permanent suspension of his account, which has become one of his main channels of communication and transmission of executive orders during his Presidency.
