Social Media reacts to the events in Washington

Throughout his presidency Donald Trump has used social media as a means of communicating with Americans and indeed the rest of the world. Sometimes the content of these posts/tweets have been criticised by journalists and laypeople alike for being misleading and spreading what has come to be termed misinformation. However, the stance of at least four of the social media networks seems to have changed following the events of Wednesday 6th January 2021 when Trump supporters stormed The Capitol building in Washington.
