Color of Change, a nonprofit dedicated to civil rights advocacy, together with an increasing number of groups, has requested that social media companies, including Twitter and Facebook, suspend President Donald Trump’s access to their platforms. This call followed a day marked by unrest and demonstrations, culminating in a breach of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the President, which necessitated a building lockdown and the evacuation of legislators.

Color of Change, GLAAD, and other advocacy organizations have stated that significant technology and financial institutions bear responsibility for the disturbances in Washington, D.C., and have demanded action from social media companies. Twitter has temporarily restricted access to the President of the United States’ account and removed three posts deemed inappropriate, but has not yet removed his account entirely. This restriction on the Twitter account will remain in effect for a minimum of 12 hours. Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg announced on Thursday, through his platform, that President Trump would be prevented from using both Facebook and Instagram “for at least the next two weeks, until the transfer of power occurs peacefully.”

Rashad Robinson, President of Color of Change, expressed his concerns on Twitter Wednesday, stating, “This has gone on long enough. It is time for Facebook and Twitter to remove Trump from their platforms. We have been communicating with leadership at @Facebook and @Twitter regarding this matter, but we require your support.”

The organization has also initiated a petition enabling individuals to directly address Twitter Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey. The petition states:

A multitude of other activist organizations, business associations, and technology industry leaders have utilized social media to denounce Wednesday’s occurrences. Accountable Tech, an organization focused on ethical considerations, tweeted Wednesday that the violent events were deeply upsetting, but not entirely surprising. “Unfortunately, the preparation and response from Twitter and Facebook have been severely insufficient. Merely labeling violent instigation is inadequate.”

GLAAD, an organization advocating for LGBTQ representation in media, urged Facebook on Thursday to make its suspension permanent and for Twitter to also remove President Trump from its platform. GLAAD also created a petition for its supporters to sign, advocating for a ban.

“Donald Trump has consistently disseminated falsehoods and conspiracy theories, provoked violence, and promoted white supremacy, utilizing social media platforms to broaden the reach of his ignorance, misinformation, and hatred, thereby endangering all Americans. He is directly accountable for the fatalities, violence, and terror experienced at the Capitol on Wednesday.”

Additional organizations, including the U.S. Travel Association, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and Business Roundtable, issued statements condemning the events, but did not directly criticize social media’s role.

Business Roundtable, comprised of CEOs from major U.S. corporations, concentrated its efforts on President Trump and called for an end to the disruption and a peaceful transition of power. Other groups, such as the National Association of Manufacturers, employed more forceful language, characterizing the protests in support of President Trump as an act of “sedition” and “mob rule,” and encouraged Vice President Mike Pence to “seriously consider” invoking the 25th amendment.
