Freezing Trump's social media account
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat have suspended the accounts of US President Donald Trump on them after he addressed supporters who attacked the Congress building.
In a message on social media to the protesters, Trump said, "I love you" before asking them to return home.
Twitter closed Trump's account for 12 hours, and said that unless the tweets of the outgoing president were deleted, his account would remain closed, which means a forbidden between Trump and Twitter on his page.
For its part, Facebook blocked Trump's account for 24 hours, and YouTube also removed the video.
"We removed it because we think it contributes to the risk of continuing violence rather than reducing it," Facebook said.
Likewise, the Instagram app removed President Trump's video and closed his account on the app for 24 hours, according to a tweet by Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram owned by Facebook.
Snapchat joined the aforementioned communication platforms, closing the Trump account.
YouTube also removed President Trump's aforementioned video, saying it violated the site's content policy.
Trump supporters stormed the headquarters of the US Congress and clashed with police, resulting in the death of a woman.
The violence halted a congressional session over ratifying Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election.
And in the House and Senate, Republicans challenged the certification of the results of last November's elections.
