<h2 style="text-align:justify" id="tag-9"><strong>According to Washington Post’s report, which covers the period from January 9 to 15:</strong></h2>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">“Conversations about election fraud dropped from 2.5 million mentions to 688,000.” after Trump’s bans from Twitter.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Hashtags related to the Capitol riot plunged significantly. The use of #FightforTrump fell by 95 percent.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">#HoldTheLine and “March for Trump” drop by 95 percent.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">QAnon hashtags and phrases saw a decline, but there still has been a 15% increase in the mentions of the conspiracy theory. </p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Fewer people shared and clicked on right-wing political content on Facebook following the ban.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><strong>As suggested by earlier research, Trump’s tweets have spilled out at massive rates. This gave Trump superior power for shaping conversations and perceived truths among his audience. </strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align:justify" id="tag-26"><strong>A study released in October also found that only 20 accounts, including Trump’s, accounted for a fifth of misinformation about the election.</strong></h2>

<p style="text-align:justify">The world of the Internet is just complicated, so it’s hard to predict how social media mentions may have trended if Trump had not been banned.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">That said, de-platforming contributed to reducing misinformation. Trump’s following will almost certainly be smaller; the hope, now, is that it doesn’t become more extreme as users turn to social media networks that make a little-to-no effort into combatting misinformation.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Last week, Trump gets suspended from YouTube for seven days after the Capitol riot as a recent video on his channel had incited violence. The video platform continued extending Trump’s suspension for another week.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The extension is likely in line with the efforts of other platforms in minimizing the risk of incitement to violence. </p>
