Trump blocked by Twitter and Facebook

Donald Trump has been suspended from Twitter and Facebook after tweeting to supporters who attacked the US Capitol.
在支持者攻入美國國會大廈之後,推特和 Facebook 都宣布總統川普的帳號將暫時停權。

In a social media message to protesters he said "I love you" before telling them to go home. He also repeated false claims about election fraud.
川普在一則給示威者的訊息中,先是說了「我愛你們」,才呼籲大家趕緊回家。川普也一再指控本次總統大選有舞弊事宜。

Twitter said it required the removal of three tweets for "severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy".

The company said the president's account would remain locked for good if the tweets were not removed.

It went on to say that "Future violations of the Twitter Rules... will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account".

Meanwhile, Facebook banned Mr Trump for 24 hours. YouTube also removed the video.
與此同時,Facebook 也宣布停用川普的帳號 24 小時,YouTube 也跟進移除影片。

Facebook said: "We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence."

His supporters stormed the seat of US government and clashed with police, leading to the death of one woman.
