Twitter Permanently Bans Trump, While Reddit Bans r/donaldtrump Forum For Inciting Violence

samedi 9 janvier 2021, 01:03 , par Slashdot
U.S. President Donald Trump was 'permanently suspended' from Twitter Friday afternoon. 'After close review of recent Tweets from the account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,' reads Twitter's announcement.

The announcement has since caused a new word to trend on Twitter: 'Permanently.'

Meanwhile, Reddit has banned r/donaldtrump for encouraging and glorifying violence after Wednesday's mob attack on the US Capitol. The Verge reports: Axios reporter Sara Fischer first reported the news, noting that the unofficial pro-Trump forum had been given multiple warnings. A Reddit splash page says the subreddit was 'banned due to a violation of Reddit's rules against inciting violence.' The r/donaldtrump forum had approximately 52,000 members before its ban, according to an Internet Archive snapshot.

'Reddit's site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,' a Reddit spokesperson tells The Verge. 'We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the US Capitol.'
