Twitter has permanently suspended US President Donald Trump’s account due to the “risk” of “further incitement of violence”.
In a tweet, the social media platform said “after close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence".
The social media giant explained, “in the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.
"We made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence among other things.
The outgoing president was temporarily suspended by Twitter earlier this week.
