The Twitter account of outgoing US President Donald Trump has been permanently shut down following an attack by Trump supporters on Capitol Hill, the US Capitol. His Facebook is also closed indefinitely.
But while Donald Trump has been making baseless claims for so long, these two social media have not been able to take such drastic action against him. Jimmy Wells, the founder of Wikipedia, fired at them.
In an interview with AFP on the occasion of Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Jimmy claimed that Trump should take 100% responsibility for what happened in Washington on January 8. At the same time, he was seen using Twitter and Facebook.
He alleged that Trump had been spreading baseless and false information for a long time. One of which is the allegation of election fraud. The two top social media organizations have not been able to handle Trump's behavior properly. In his words, they have not been able to take such action on Donald Trump for a long time. But it was clear that Trump was spreading false information. He was also provoking people.
Trump attacks have been accused of using Twitter to spread violence. His company has never been accused of anything like Facebook and Twitter. The decision to develop Wikipedia as a non-profit site in 2003 did not go unnoticed. Besides, Facebook and Twitter have been in danger of walking in the opposite direction. Its like that.
Jimmy, 54, said: "Their business model is to want as many page views as possible. And in doing so, they are harming their own brand. This time they have to handle it themselves. All I can say is that the work is difficult.
