In an unprecedented move, Twitter locked President Trump's account on Wednesday after freezing three of his tweets about the riots at the U.S. Capitol so they could not be liked or forwarded.
The @realDonaldTrump account will be locked and those tweets must be removed. At that point, the account will remain locked for 12 hours, Twitter said in a post on its Twitter Safety account.
Future violations of the social networks rules including inciting violence could "result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account," Twitter said on the thread.
After thousands of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Trump shared a video in which he told followers, "We had an election that was stolen from us."
He told followers to go home, but maintained his unfounded claim that the election was "fraudulent."
In a subsequent tweet, Trump said, about the riots: "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!
Initially, Twitter labeled the president's tweet, noting that it could not be retweeted, liked or replied to, though the option to "quote" the tweet remained.
But later, it took the move to lock his account.
