Facebook has removed a video released by President Donald Trump on Wednesday urging Stop the Steal protestors to act peacefully and leave the US Capitol. Protestors brought a halt to electoral college count proceedings when entering the Capitol, with Members of Congress and Senators evacuating.

President Trump’s video was a call to peace, raising serious questions as to why the Big Tech platform saw the need for censorship.

Twitter has outfitted the President’s statement with a hysterical qualifier, restricting his followers from retweeting or liking it on account of a “risk of violence.”
