Twitter temporarily suspended Trump's account on January 6 for publishing posts in which he called the defeat in the presidential election a consequence of "vote theft" and the Capitol invaders as "special people."

The social network warned him that in case of a repetition of such violations, the account could be blocked forever.

However, on January 8, new posts appeared on Trump's account. In one of them, the president wrote that he would not tolerate disrespect for millions of his voters, and in another, that he would not go to Biden’s inauguration.

Twitter employees felt the statements could provoke new riots similar to those that took place on January 6 on Capitol Hill... In this regard, the account was finally blocked.

Trump said in response that he “will not be silenced” and did not rule out the creation of a new social network. He called Twitter’s actions “a violation of the principle of freedom of speech.”

This isTrump’s statement was published, among other things, on the account of his campaign headquarters on Twitter; as a result, the social network blocked this account as well.

Facebook and Instagram also blocked Trump's accounts... According to the head of these companies, Mark Zuckerberg, the blocking will last at least two weeks, that is, until Biden's inauguration, scheduled for January 20.
