Wednesday, 05 May 2021(YJC)_ Trump Slams 'Corrupt Social Media Companies', Says They Must Pay 'Political Price'.

Donald Trump Slams Social Media CompaniesFormer US President Donald Trump has blasted Facebook, Twitter, and Google for banning him from their platforms, labelling their actions "a total disgrace and embarrassment". He called the trio "corrupt social media companies" and insisted that they must pay a "political price" for what they did.

"The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must […] never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process", Trump said.

The ex-president lashed out at the social media giants following a decision by Facebook's Oversight Board to support the platform's decision to suspend Trump's account back on 7 January. The board claimed that Trump’s posts posed "a clear, immediate risk of harm" and "legitimised [the] violent actions" of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on 6 January.
