Twitter and Facebook temporarily locked U.S. President Donald Trump's accounts in response to his baseless claims about the U.S. presidential elections.
This decisive action by tech giants followed pro-Trump protesters storming the U.S. Capitol, attempting to block the appointment of President-elect Joe Biden.
Twitter enforced a 12-hour lock and demanded the removal of three specific tweets, while Facebook blocked Trump's page from posting for 24 hours due to policy violations.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
