Big Tech Goes on the Offensive
Following the acts of violence that wound up in four people dying and at least 52 arrests, President Trump released a video statement.
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

2020 presidential election was stolen before stating that violence is not the answer; however, additional talk of voter fraud prompted strict action from Facebook and Twitter.
Action from Facebook and Twitter
Facebook Integrity VP Guy Rosen stated that the social media platform would remove Trump’s video, due to the nature of events in Washington D.C; Rosen furthermore explained the company’s belief that Trump’s video statement heightens the risk of more violence.
Twitter adopted a similar stance. On the Twitter Safety account, the company announced that D.C.’s “unprecedented and ongoing violent situation” resulted in a temporary ban on Trump’s Twitter account.
Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.

In order for the 12-hour ban to lift, the 45th president will have to remove multiple posts. Finally, Twitter also informed that if Trump makes “future violations” of their rules, his account will suffer indefinite suspension.
The crackdown against the president from Twitter and Facebook comes at an interesting time. For a while, big tech companies have faced ongoing accusations of bias against conservatives; this has therefore triggered the rise of alternative social media platforms like Parler, Rumble, and Gab.
