Twitter, Facebook's breaking point with Trump could be too little, too late

Trump has long used social media to his advantage, stoking chaos by using the microphones offered by companies like Twitter and Facebook

Twitter Inc. — the social media giant that for years gave Donald Trump wide latitude to rally supporters, spread misinformation and foment unrest — temporarily suspended the U.S. president's account and threatened a permanent ban after he used the platform to egg on a violent mob that stormed the Capitol building.
 

On Wednesday, Twitter said it required the deletion of several tweets. A spokesperson later confirmed that Trump deleted three tweets, which means he’ll regain his posting privileges after a 12-hour suspension. The company also said it would permanently block the president if he again violated its Civic Integrity policy,
