Twitter Suspends two Trump tweets as he appeared to encourage violence.
Twitter suspended two of Donald Trump’s tweets from being shared and flagged many others for misinformation as he appeared to encourage a violent insurrection at the US capitol.
The platform faced increased calls to suspend the president’s account after he condemned Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to overturn election results over unsubstantiated reports of voter fraud.
It flagged a tweet in which Trump accused Pence of failing to have “the courage to do what should have been done” and refuse to certify the results. It prevented users from retweeting the message, citing “risk of violence”, the first time it has included such a tag.
