People are protesting against Donald Trump's election with a #Twitterblackout

We’ve already had riots and protests in response to Donald Trump’s election as the President of the United States.

Now, a new hashtag has been created #Twitterblackout for thousands of people on Twitter who are blacking out their profile picture on the social media platform.

The virtual protest explains that it is for those who want "to present that they are opposed to the result of Donald Trump becoming president."
