美國國會正在進行點算選舉人團票的正式程序，然而川普支持者在參加完白宮前舉行的川普造勢大會後，衝進國會。華府前所未有的混亂。

在川普支持者衝進國會之後，推特宣布刪除三則川普的推文，表示川普並且暫時封鎖川普帳號12小時，並警告川普總統如果進一步違反，將永久封鎖帳號。

原本推特只是加上「該則關於選舉舞弊的聲明有爭論，該推文不能回復、轉發、按讚」。推特在官方帳號上表示，因為前所未有在華府的暴力情形，我們要求移除三則 @realdonaldtrump 稍早的推文，因為其反覆違反我們的公民誠信政策。

推特安全團隊表示鼓勵暴力行為違反推特的政策。

As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy. https://t.co/k6OkjNG3bM

不過川普總統的白宮官方帳號維持正常，川普總統並不太用這個帳號發文，多數只是轉發川普個人帳號的推文。

另外，臉書與youtube也移除川普帳號發布的一則影片，該影片是關於川普對選舉舞弊的指控。而臉書與Instagram也封鎖川普帳號24小時，無法張貼新的貼文。

We've assessed two policy violations against President Trump's Page which will result in a 24-hour feature block, meaning he will lose the ability to post on the platform during that time.

youtube在聲明中表示該影片違反政策。而臉書則表示今天國會的暴力抗議是一個恥辱，臉書禁止在平台上鼓動暴力。

This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.

前臉書安全員工薩卡（Chris Sacca）在推特上抨擊臉書，稱臉書手上沾滿鮮血因為過去四年臉書一直容許鼓勵暴力的內容在平台上存在。
 

You’ve got blood on your hands, @jack and Zuck. For four years you’ve rationalized this terror. Inciting violent treason is not a free speech exercise. If you work at those companies, it’s on you too. Shut it down.
