Twitter locked Trump's account for 12 hours and warned that it will be permanently blocked.
Twitter officials stated that because “many of his supporters violently attacked and destroyed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday”, Twitter has blocked the personal account of President Donald Trump for 12 hours because of “repeated and serious violations of U.S. Civic integrity policy".
The @TwitterSafety account stated that the violations stemmed from three tweets, including a video shared by Trump with supporters telling them to "go home", but also repeated the false statement that the November election was "election stolen".
Twitter Safety said: "This means that @realDonaldTrump's account will be locked for 12 hours until deleting these tweets."
"If the tweet is not deleted, the account will remain locked.
Twitter Security continued: "In the future, if tweets that violate the rules of Twitter continue to appear, including our policies on citizen integrity or threats of violence, the @realDonaldTrump account will be permanently suspended."
Trump's tweets that violate the rules have been deleted from the @realDonaldTrump account.
Earlier, the Democratic chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Frank Pallone urged Twitter and Facebook to block Trump's account.
