As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy. https://t.co/k6OkjNG3bM

Apparently inciting domestic terrorism gets you a 12-hour timeout from @Twitter.

So Trump has access to the nuclear codes but he can't Tweet or post to Facebook.

A Twitter spokesperson tells me Lin Wood has actually been permanently removed from the platform. Here is the sequence of events of how this happened:

After this dreadful time has passed, big tech must be held to account for the part they have played in this dark time for democracy.
Also, what is civic integrity?
And who decides how integral the civility is? https://t.co/kg1aRrtjjY
Good to know that the line gets drawn at "doing a coup" https://t.co/b0uRUOn2G1
— Ryan Mac ? (@RMac18) January 7, 2021
12 hours is not sufficient. He is a danger to our democracy and should be banned from @twitter for the next 14 days.

Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.
— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 7, 2021
I recommend Twitter to archive Trump’s Twitter account instead of outright suspending

I’m sure his tweets will be useful in courts in the future https://t.co/9iIvgj7o9O
"'For four years you’ve rationalized this terror.' ... Twitter, Facebook and others had long resisted cracking down on Mr. Trump’s posts and other toxic content. ... 'This is a demonstration of the very real-world impact of echo chambers.'" https://t.co/dMGVM5czyh

Trump’s Snapchat account is also locked, Snapchat tells me. (He was already blocked last year from his content appearing on Discover. Now he can’t post at all.)

Everybody will have lots of definitive thoughts about twitter’s actions tonight. These are difficult decisions; with multiple POVs that are never black and white, all shifting in real-time, with millions of users sure to hate whatever you decide. Kudos to the team’s courage
— dick costolo (@dickc) January 7, 2021
This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.
— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 7, 2021
Social media companies have been complicit in allowing him a platform for too long. This did not happen overnight. It came from years of unchecked inflammatory behaviour https://t.co/ovRJmcsDdO

But it was supported by Biden.
Now they’re about to BAN the president.
