After temporarily suspending Trump’s account, Twitter permanently deprived him of this tool, with which the outgoing president had sent more than 55,000 messages for more than eleven years and in which he had 89 million subscribers.

Facebook and Instagram also blocked the president from accessing his account at least until the transfer was completed on January 20, and Twitch and Snapchat deactivated his profile indefinitely.
