The two tweets of Friday ignited the powder

Twitter explains in a tweet the reasons for this ban. Twitter's breaking points were Friday's two tweets, which were seen as an escalation in continuing tensions since the storming of Capitol Hill on Jan.6. One of the posts says Donald Trump will not attend at the handover ceremony with President-elect Joe Biden. A first in the history of the United States depuis 152 years old.

Company 's conclusions: "We evaluated the two Tweets mentioned above as part of our policy against glorification of violence , [posts that could] incite others to reproduce violent acts and we have determined that they were very likely to encourage and entice people to reproduce the criminal acts that took place on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

This determination is based on a certain number of factors, including:

President Trump's statement that he will not participate in the inauguration is received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election does not was not legitimate and is considered a disavowal of his previous claim made via two Tweets ( 1 , 2 ) by his deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, that there will be an "orderly transition " on January 20.

• The second Tweet can also serve as an encouragement to those considering committing violent acts, letting them understand that the inauguration would be a "safe " target, since 'he will not attend.
• The use of the words "American Patriots " to describe some of his supporters is also interpreted as supporting those who commit violent acts on the United States Capitol.
• The mention of his supporters having a "Giant voice in the future " and that "They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way !!! " is interpreted as a further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an "orderly transition " and, on the contrary, he plans to coContinue to support, empower and protect those who believe he won the election.
• Plans for future armed protests have already started to proliferate on and off Twitter, including a proposal for a second attack on the US Capitol on January 17, 2021.

Our judgment is that these two Tweets are likely to inspire others to reproduce the acts of violence that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are received and understood as an encouragement to do so ".

Twitter is not the only technology player to have taken sweeping decisions against President Donald Trump in recent hours.
