"The San Francisco Police Department is aware of the possibility of a demonstration on the 1300 block of Market Street (Twitter). SFPD has been in contact with representatives from Twitter. We will have sufficient resources available to respond to any demonstrations as well as calls for service citywide," a police department spokesperson wrote in an email.
The San Francisco Chronicle said in a report that posts on a popular internet forum for Trump, supporters called for the President's adherents to protest his Twitter ban outside of the company's headquarters.
This protest comes at a time when the Big Tech firms have been accused of carrying out an unprecedented crackdown and almost exclusive crackdown on conservative voices.
