Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh has deactivated his Twitter account. Limbaugh's choice to step off Twitter follows the permanent suspension of President Trump's account by the company. Limbaugh is one of a handful of high-profile Trump supporters who closed or lost their Twitter accounts following the Capitol Hill insurrection. Twitter has also suspended the accounts of Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn, pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, and Ron Watkins. Business Insider reports Limbaugh has praised the rioters as being in the same class as Revolutionary War heroes Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams.
Twitter has permanently suspended President Donald Trump from accessing his account. Facebook moved to block Trump "indefinitely" on Thursday following a violent siege of the US Capitol. "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 company said in a tweet. Plans to storm the Capitol had been circulating on social media sites like Facebook. The plans were also spread on Twitter and Parler in the weeks leading up to the attack.
Twitter said Wednesday it has locked President Donald Trump's account for 12 hours, says CNN. This is a warning sign, for the first time, that the site may suspend him permanently. The temporary lock reflects Trump's violation of the Twitter rules, the company said. "We have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets," said Twitter. The tweets posted earlier today were repeated and severe violations of Twitter's Civic Integrity Policy. Twitter says future violations will result in a permanent suspension of Trump's account.
