In 2020, Trump began spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, and falsely suggested that postal voting or electoral fraud may compromise the presidential election, prompting Twitter to either remove or label such tweets as disputed. After his election loss, Trump had persistently undermined the election results in the weeks leading to Joe Biden's inauguration. His tweets played a role in inciting the January 6, 2021, attack of the U.S. Capitol during the formal counting of electoral votes. Though Trump was eventually acquitted during his second impeachment, social media companies began imposing semi-permanent bans against Trump effective January 8, 2021. Twitter permanently suspended his @realDonaldTrump handle, followed by the official account of his campaign (@TeamTrump) shortly thereafter. Allies of Trump who posted on his behalf, including Trump campaign digital director Gary Coby, also had their accounts suspended. Twitter also deleted three tweets by Trump on the @POTUS handle and barred access to the presidential account until Joe Biden's inauguration. Along with similar measures against key allies of Trump, this resulted in a 73% decline in the spread of election-related misinformation during the first week following the bans (January 9–15), according to research analytics firm Zignal Labs. In May 2021, Trump launched "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump", a site where he posted short tweet-like announcements; it was shut down after less than a month amidst reports that it had failed to attract significant traffic. In June 2021, Trump's permanent ban from Facebook and Instagram was redacted to two years, or until January 2023.
