SAN FRANCISCO: Only one person turned up during a pro-Trump rally at Twitter headquarters, protesting against its decision to permanently ban US President Donald Trump.
While there was a single pro-Trump protester in evidence, two counter-protesters appeared to applaud Twitter’s decision to deplatform the outgoing president, reports The Verge.
Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters was empty, with employees working from home during the ongoing pandemic.
There was still a heavy police presence and at last 30 police officers were present at the site to protect against mob violence.
Angry at Twitter which permanently removed Trump from its platform following the Capitol chaos last week, his supporters planned a rally at the company’s headquarters on Monday.
The posts on a popular internet forum for Trump supporters called for the President’s adherents to protest his Twitter ban outside of the company’s headquarters.
Posts on TheDonald.win, an independent far-right internet forum, called for supporters to gather outside of Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco to protest the ban.
A Twitter spokesperson had said that the company’s highest priority was workers’ safety.
Twitter had banned Trump from its platform, citing “risk of further incitement of violence”. IANS
