Donald Trump's Twitter and Facebook accounts have been suspended after he published posts deemed to incite violence amid the deadly Capitol riots.
The US
President's Twitter account is locked for 12 hours and the social media
platform told him to remove three posts related to the unrest.
It also
threatened to permanently ban the Republican leader if there are any future
violations.
Facebook then
followed suit, locking the President from posting for 24 hours, citing
"two policy violations".
It came after
the billionaire businessman turned politician posted a series of mixed messages
as supporters stormed the US Capitol building on Wednesday evening - with one
woman shot dead.
His final
tweet falsely claimed his "landslide victory" over Democratic rival
Joe Biden had been "unceremoniously & viciously stripped away".
In reality,
Biden won the Electoral College while gaining seven million more votes than
Trump on his way to receiving the most ballots of any US President-elect ever.
