Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny called Twitter’s ban of President Trump an "unacceptable act of censorship" that could be exploited by oppressive governments around the world. Trump’s account @realdonaldtrump was banned by the social media giant Friday following the president’s response to the Capitol riots this week. "In my opinion, the decision to ban Trump was based on emotions and personal political preferences," Navalny wrote on Twitter. He noted that "cold-blooded murderers" like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro are allowed on the platform. TWITTER SUSPENDS @realDonaldTrump ACCOUNT PERMANENTLY"Twitter may ban me for this but I willingly accept that fate," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., tweeted Saturday.
