People have been blaming Donald Trump\u2019s messages on social media as a direct cause of this and so it was interesting to see that platforms like twitter have officially suspended his account permanently.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12503\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/twitter-banning-us-president-donald-trumps-account\/trump2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"591,342\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;windows&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1610151028&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trump2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2-300x174.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"342\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2.jpg 591w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2-155x90.jpg 155w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump2-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the press release, it seems like their justification is that his message of continuing to not accept the election results is in a sense creating violence per se.  They state the following points:<\/p>\n<p>-President Trump\u2019s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an \u201corderly transition\u201d on January 20th.<\/p>\n<p>-The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a \u201csafe\u201d target, as he will not be attending. <\/p>\n<p>-The use of the words \u201cAmerican Patriots\u201d to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>-The mention of his supporters having a \u201cGIANT VOICE long into the future\u201d and that \u201cThey will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!\u201d is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an \u201corderly transition\u201d and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election. <\/p>\n<p>-Plans 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.<\/p>\n<p>So it is kind of interesting from a business point of view.  Companies like these have a right to serve whoever they wish of course.   But it makes you wonder will this open a can of worms?  Because the tricky thing is if you do it to one person in this manner then you have to do it to all who follow the same criteria.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12501\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/twitter-banning-us-president-donald-trumps-account\/trump5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"579,736\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;windows&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1610151755&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trump5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5-236x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"579\" height=\"736\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5.jpg 579w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5-124x157.jpg 124w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/trump5-300x381.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Because in many ways it does come down to interpretation as well.
