Twitter thought they could wait out Trump's term in office. After rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol today in support of the President, they put him on a 12-hour time-out and warned that his account could be banned permanently. Facebook and Instagram followed suit.

It's been a riotous day in Washington D.C., one that ended with supporters of President Donald J. Trump storming the United States Capitol, overwhelming the Capitol Police, and interrupting a joint session of Congress that had just begun to certify the Electoral College vote and confirm the election of Trump's duly elected successor, Joseph R. Biden.

It's also been a tumultuous day on the President's favorite social media platform. Twitter first slapped warning labels on three Trump tweets, prohibiting replies, retweets, or likes due to the "risk of violence."

"This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked. Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account."

3. Weak tea.

Twitter is opening itself up for prosecution as an accomplice to sedition.

Once again, Jack Dorsey is thinking more about profits than morality.
