Twitter Permanently Suspends Trump's Account for Encouraging Violence

Twitter said that it had permanently suspended President Trump from its service “due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” effectively cutting him off from his favorite megaphone for reaching the public and capping a series of actions by mainstream sites to limit his online reach. The company said two tweets that Mr. Trump had posted “were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,” referring to the storming of the Capitol by a mob of Trump loyalists.
