SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) Anti-Trump messages were projected on Twitter s headquarters in San Francisco Monday evening.
This was to show support for the company s decision, made last Friday, to permanently suspend Donald Trump from the platform.
Donald Trump's Twitter was suspended permanently Friday evening, with the platform citing "the risk of further incitement of violence" following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

Chaos and violence: Social media videos capture clashes between Pro-Trump supporters and police on the frontlines of the U.S Capitol. It would be an incredibly wasted opportunity if we just went back to life as normal, said CNET Editor-At-Large Ian Sherr, who added that the chaos at the capitol was a wakeup call for an industry that has gone unchecked for years. We need to figure out what social media needs to become, and it can t just be the whims of two male, white CEOs, who are currently in charge of Facebook and Twitter, he said.
In recent months, much has been said about the protections these companies have under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields them from liability for much of the content their users post on their platforms. With no restrictions, some say the consequences can be dangerous.
