UK MPs have joined the call for President Trump to be censored from social media platforms due to his incendiary tweets about the US anti-racism protests currently underway.

Despite the fact that the statement in question – where Trump deployed the historically racist phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” – has been widely broadcast by TV networks and newspapers across the world, MPs – who were grilling reps from Twitter and Facebook at the latest online harms parliamentary committee meeting yesterday – were concerned about the words being allowed to remain on Twitter and Facebook.
