Twitter's not the only company that seems to be having a change of heart in the wake of yesterday's events, either. YouTube was the first of the big social platforms to take down a video that President Trump posted, in which he both told rioters to go home … and peddled the same election-steal lies as always. Facebook followed suit, and also banned Trump from posting, including to Instagram, for 24 hours. Mark Zuckerberg sent a note to Facebook staff acknowledging that the team had removed Trump's video. "We are treating this situation as an emergency," Zuckerberg said, "and we are implementing additional measures to keep people safe." Those additional measures: Removing broad swaths of content, changing the way it labels problematic content, and making it hard to spread misinformation in groups. A lot of tech leaders wanted to see Trump banned from these platforms. https://www.protocol.com/newsletters/sourcecode/trump-gets-deplatformed?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1
