Outgoing President Donald Trump's Twitter account has been permanently suspended, as revealed by a tweet from the social network's security account.
"After a close inspection of the recent tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and in context, we have permanently suspended the account due to future risks of incitement to violence", tweeted this afternoon.
Last Tuesday, outgoing President Donald Trump had refused to concede victory to Joe Biden as successor to the U.S. executive branch on the false grounds of "voter fraud" and, in a speech in Washington, he urged thousands of his supporters to protest to the Capitol, where the counting of electoral votes in the U.S. Congress was taking place.
As a consequence, the security of the Capitol facility was violated. The balance is five people killed in Tuesday's protests.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, also said that access would be restricted to the outgoing president's accounts - Facebook and Instagram - in order to prevent further violence and promote the peaceful resolution of American democracy.
