Twitter has permanently suspended the account of President Donald Trump, citing risk of further incitement to violence.
Twitter said it determined that two tweets from President Trump on January 8 were highly likely to encourage people to replicate criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol.
Meanwhile, Twitter shares fell with over 3% in after-hours trading after Trump’s account was suspended.
Similarly, Apple has threatened to remove the Parler social networking service – used by many Trump supporters – from its App Store unless the company changes its content moderation policies.
