(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Kwang-bin = All-round measures are being taken to prevent the pro-Trump riot in the US online.

After President Donald Trump’s social media accounts were suspended one after another, the service itself faced a crisis in Parlor, a social media that his enthusiastic supporters used as a communication channel.

Ahead of the inauguration ceremony of US President-elect Joe Biden scheduled for the coming 20th, it is a measure to prevent the conspiracies and agitation of violent demonstrations by supporters of President Trump.

There is already a situation that the fierce Trump supporters are planning armed protests through social media.

In particular, on the day of the inauguration ceremony, the ‘1 million militia march’ is also being promoted, raising concerns that violence such as the invasion of the Federal Parliament House on the 6th could be reproduced.

Online’dinosaur’ companies have taken steps to prevent online.

It features not only social media companies, but also app distribution markets and web hosting companies.

On social media such as Twitter and Facebook, it has gone beyond the fingers of President Trump and far-right agitators.

Even app platform companies such as Apple and Google have also blocked the distribution of certain social media, which has become a target for the riots of Trump’s strong supporters.

In particular, Amazon, a web hosting company, has also decided to stop serving the social media online through its company.

It means that they have begun to strike a’triple shield’ for each service level online.

◇ Trump’s finger tied social media

Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account on the 8th because he promoted it during the Washington DC congressional invasion.

Twitter pointed out that President Trump’s tweets had reached the level of glorifying violence, citing the rationale as “due to the danger of further agitation of violence.”

Twitter stressed that there are signs that Trump’s posts are being accepted in a way that encourages them to imitate Congressional intrusion.

In fact, Twitter explains that plans for armed protests, such as proposals for a second attack against the Federal Assembly, have already begun to spread on and off Twitter.

Following Twitter, Facebook suspended President Trump’s account until the inauguration of Biden.

Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitch, operated by Amazon, also temporarily banned President Trump from using his account.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the 7th that “I think the risk of letting the president continue to use our services during this period is too great.”

◇ Prevent violence from platform companies to hosting companies… Total dispatch of IT’dinosaurs’

After regulating not only President Trump’s mouth, but also posts inciting violence on representative social media services such as Twitter and Facebook, enthusiastic supporters are rapidly moving to other social media parlors.

Parlor is a social media used by members of far-right groups such as’QAnon’ and’proud boys’ and white supremacists.

Pro-Trump officials have begun to move their major activities to social media. “I protest against Twitter’s fascism,” conservative radio host Mark Levin urged Trump supporters to move to the parlor.

There is also a prospect that President Trump will move to alternative SNS such as parlors. President Trump said on the 8th that when his Twitter account was blocked, “we will not be silent,” and “we are in consultation with various sites and there will be a big announcement soon.”

Because of this, the number of parlor users has exploded. The same goes for riot incitement and mock posts.

Then, Google and Apple, the app market operators with parlors in them, rolled up their arms.

Apple and Google blocked parlor downloads for not effectively cracking down on posts from users who promote violence and crime on the App Store and Play Store, respectively.

In a statement, Apple said, “We’ve always supported a variety of perspectives on the App Store, but we don’t provide space for threats of violence and illegal activities.”

Google also announced that “the parlor app was temporarily dropped from the Play Store in consideration of the threat of public well-being.”

Here, Amazon has decided to discontinue its web hosting service for the parlor. If the parlor cannot find another web service provider, the service itself could be cut off from the 11th.

In a letter to the parlor, Amazon said in a letter to the parlor that “we cannot provide customers with services that cannot effectively identify and remove content that promotes or promotes violence against others.”

However, Android phone users can download the parlor without going through the Google Play Store.

In addition, if the parlor finds a new hosting company, you can continue to use the parlor through a web browser rather than an app on your mobile phone, and you can access the web through a computer.

Military authorities are considering allowing the guards to possess weapons on the day of the inauguration ceremony. To this end, we are watching the preliminary stages of the protests.

Washington DC has already declared a state of emergency until the day of its inauguration.
