Twitter has permanently suspended Donald Trump’s account over risk he “incites violence”

The social network Twitter announced this Friday the permanent account suspension of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after concluding that risk of “incitement to violence”.

“Due to the existing tensions in the United States (…) these tweets should be read in the context of larger events and the way in which the president’s sentences can mobilize different audiences,” the social network explained.

Trump’s messages during the assault on the Capitol from the United States last Wednesday where deleted for the same reason on the social network, which suspended the account for 12 hours.

For their part, Instagram and Facebook extended the ban at least to the rest of his term.

During this Friday, Trump announced that will not attend Biden’s proclamation ceremony on January 20 and that the “American patriots” who voted for him will not be looked down upon or “unfairly treated” for they will have a “giant voice” in the future.

In a statement reproduced by the Europa Press agency, the social network indicated that public accounts “are not above the rules”, despite its function, and pointed to the “terrible events of this week” as one of the triggers.

Social media was a loudspeaker the president used to address his supporters and hurry the rest of the government and the public authorities of the country during his tenure.
