   Twitter and Facebook Lock Trump’s Accounts After Violence on Capitol Hill   
      
   Update: Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, said on Thursday that   
   President Trump would be blocked from its platforms “at least” through the   
   end of his term.   
      
   The moves came after critics and even some allies of the social media   
   companies said they had failed to prevent the misinformation that led to chaos   
   on Wednesday.   
      
   SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday locked the accounts of   
   President Trump, which prevents him from posting messages to his more than 88   
   million followers on Twitter and 35 million followers on Facebook, after he   
   published a string of    
   inaccurate and inflammatory messages on a day of violence in the nation’s   
   capital.   
      
   The moves were an unprecedented rebuke of Mr. Trump by the social media   
   companies, which have long been megaphones for the president.   
      
   Twitter said Mr. Trump’s account would remain locked for 12 hours and the   
   ban could be extended if several of his tweets that rejected the election   
   results and appeared to incite violence were not deleted. Mr. Trump’s   
   account will be permanently    
   suspended if he continues violating Twitter’s policies against violent   
   threats and election misinformation, the company added.   
      
   On Twitter on Wednesday, users called for the company’s chief executive,   
   Jack Dorsey, to take down President Trump’s account. Civil rights groups   
   said action by social media companies against calls for political violence was   
   “long overdue.” Even    
   venture capitalists who had reaped riches from investing in social media urged   
   Twitter and Facebook to do more.   
      
   “For four years you’ve rationalized this terror. Inciting violent treason   
   is not a free speech exercise,” Chris Sacca, a tech investor who had   
   invested in Twitter, wrote to Mr. Dorsey and Facebook’s chief executive,   
   Mark Zuckerberg. “If you    
   work at those companies, it’s on you too. Shut it down.”
