Friday.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cAfter close review of recent tweets from the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump?lang=en\" class=\"icon none\">@realDonaldTrump account <\/a>and the context around them \u2014 specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter \u2014 we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,\u201d Twitter<br \/>\n        TWTR,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/203180645\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-1.62%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       announced in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/company\/2020\/suspension.html\" class=\"icon none\">blog post<\/a> in which the company said plans of another attack on the U.S. Capitol were already circulating both on and off the platform.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       A spokesperson for the company told MarketWatch that Trump and others were banned in line with Twitter\u2019s policy against harmful coordinated activity. The accounts of former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Trump lawyer Sidney Powell were also permanently banned.<\/p>\n<p>The breaking point came after Wednesday\u2019s events, when Trump spoke at a rally of supporters, who later stormed the Capitol as Congress was voting to confirm the results of the election that cost Trump the presidency. Trump subsequently posted support for the riotous mob on Twitter and Facebook Inc.<br \/>\n        FB,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/205064656\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-0.44%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n      ; Facebook banned Trump on Thursday, while Twitter allowed Trump to return after a temporary ban.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, hundreds of Twitter employees wrote to Chief Executive Jack Dorsey urging him to permanently ban Trump, the Washington Post reported. They also asked for \u201can investigation into how our public policy decisions led to the amplification of serious anti-democratic threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president used Twitter as a bully pulpit on his way to the presidency and as commander in chief, developing an audience on the site of 88.7 million. He provoked people and companies and rallied support for his causes, using the platform to bypass the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> media and speak directly to constituents. Most dangerously, he pushed the false notion for months that he won the presidential election, which led to  Wednesday\u2019s bloody rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021,\u201d Twitter cited in its blog post.<\/p>\n<p>MediaJustice, an Oakland, Calif.-based social-justice advocacy group, has urged Twitter to ban Trump for years and met with the company earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn many ways, this move is a day late and a dollar short,\u201d said Steven Renderos, executive director of the group, on Friday. \u201cBut it\u2019s about protecting democracy and the U.S. from further harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Goldman, law professor and co-director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University, called the move inevitable. \u201cFor so long [Twitter was] justifying his behavior because he was a sitting president. The events of this week showed that even a sitting president needs to be held accountable for his words.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Twitter had long supported keeping Trump and other world leaders on the platform, who use it to make some of their most important pronouncements. But his misbehavior since the election, culminating in Wednesday\u2019s riot, finally led to a ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things,\u201d the company said in its blog post. <\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump Jr., who also spoke during the raucous rally Wednesday, vehemently objected to his father\u2019s online ouster. He tweeted: \u201cSo the ayatollah, and numerous other dictatorial regimes can have Twitter accounts with no issue despite threatening genocide to entire countries and killing homosexuals etc\u2026 but The President of the United States should be permanently suspended. Mao would be proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump had either directly or indirectly encouraged violence on Twitter for years, including against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the news media and others. In 2017, Twitter took down a couple of Trump tweets for the first time, when he retweeted right-wing British leaders who tweeted doctored videos of purported violence by Muslims. Twitter also got some heat for refusing to take down Trump\u2019s tweets about having \u201ca bigger nuclear button\u201d than North Korea, which led to concerns about a war.<\/p>\n<p>Because Trump\u2019s tweets will be needed for historical and other reasons, the company said it will work with the government on its archiving needs. <\/p>\n<p>Shares of Twitter, which tolerated the president\u2019s behavior despite persistent pleas it boot an account that generated tremendous traffic and engagement, fell 3.7% in after-hours trading Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim Advocates, a national civil rights organization, called on Facebook and Google-owned YouTube to also institute permanent bans on Trump. Facebook\u2019s announcement Thursday said its suspension of the president would last until at least through the end of his presidency, although CEO Mark Zuckerberg also used the word \u201cindefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is long past time for these companies to take the steps necessary to address pervasive hate and disinformation on their platforms,\u201d Muslim Advocates said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Absent the Twitter and Facebook social-media megaphones that reached billions and commandeered a 24-7 news cycle of his own doing, Trump may increasingly turn to right-wing social-media sites like Parler. But late Friday, Alphabet Inc.\u2019s<br \/>\n        GOOGL,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/202490156\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+1.32%<\/bg-quote><\/p>\n<p>        GOOG,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/205453964\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+1.12%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       Google pulled Parler from its Play Store for fostering violence, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Inc.<br \/>\n        AAPL,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/202934861\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.86%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       threatened to do the same on its App Store.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman warned that Twitter is bound to receive blowback from regulators and legislators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis drama doesn\u2019t end here, it starts here in some way,\u201d he said. \u201cIf Twitter has the power to decide which politicians can engage their constituents, politicians will care greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Renderos acknowledged that Twitter\u2019s long-awaited action \u201cdoesn\u2019t undo the radicalization of people who live with an alternate set of facts. But it starts to move us toward a world where we can grapple with the reality that we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Jon Swartz\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jon_Swartz_and\"><\/span>Jon Swartz and<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Levi Sumagaysay\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Levi_Sumagaysay\"><\/span>Levi Sumagaysay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
