Trump returns to Twitter but stays blocked on other social media platforms
- Friday | 8th January, 2021
Twitter unlocked the president’s @realDonaldTrump Twitter account, which has 88 million followers, after Trump removed three rule-breaking tweets. Trump’s accounts remain blocked on Facebook and Instagram for at least two weeks and perhaps indefinitely. Zuckerberg said the block on Trump’s Facebook page, which has 35 million followers, would last at least until Biden takes office on Jan. 20. Social media companies have been under pressure to police misinformation about the US election on their platforms, including from the president. Civil rights groups including Color of Change have called for social media companies to ban Trump permanently from the platforms, where he has repeatedly violated policies.
