Summary / Abstract (Note) | After rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, some of the United States’ most powerful institutions sprang into action to punish the leaders ofthe failed insurrection. But they weren’t the ones you might expect. Facebook and Twitter suspended the accounts ofPresident Donald Trump for posts praising the rioters. Amazon, Apple, and Google e,ectively banished Parler, an alternative to Twitter that Trump’s supporters had used to encourage and coordinate the attack, by blocking its access to Web-hosting services and app stores. Major -nancial service apps, such as PayPal and Stripe, stopped processing payments for the Trump campaign and for accounts that had funded travel expenses to Washington, D.C., for Trump’s supporters. |
