As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy. https://t.co/k6OkjNG3bM

The latest move by the social media giant means Trump will not be able to use either Facebook or Instagram during his time as president, as president-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated on Jan 20.
Four people were killed on Wednesday after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building, including a woman shot by law enforcement.
They did so after being directly urged by the president to march on Capitol Hill during a speech made earlier that day, in which he pledged to “never concede” and that “theft” had been involved in the outcome of the general election.
