Twitter users are ?? ??? ??pissed at Jack Dorsey and they're not afraid to @ him, both on and off the platform.
To protest the site's refusal to suspend Donald Trump's account following a tweet about his nuclear button, a group called Resistance SF projected a message on Tuesday evening to Twitter creator Jack on the company's San Fransisco headquarters: "@jack is #complicit."
SEE ALSO: Of course Trump's Christmas card is obnoxiously large"Complicit," which Dictionary.com defines as "choosing to be involved in an illegal or questionable act," was recently named the dictionary's 2017 Word of the Year. The word "complicit" has also been linked to Trump's administration in the past.
Resistance SF captioned the photo: "@jack breaks the rules of his own company, Twitter, to amplify a madman and endanger the world. Jack Dorsey must resign or ban @realDonaldTrump."
The protest came after Trump kicked off the new year with a Level 5 tweetstorm, taking shots at everything from Iran's government to the "Fake News Media," but on Tuesday night the Tweeter-In-Chief decided to brag that his "nuclear button" is larger and more powerful than North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un's.

At the sight of this very powerful man once again using Twitter to antagonize North Korea (and the world) with the threat of nuclear war, users berated Dorsey about the platform's rules, questioning why Trump's account wasn't being blocked for his behavior.
Shortly after users reported the tweet, Twitter responded, confirming Trump's tweet did not violate the platform's rules against abusive behavior.

In the past, after receiving many inquiries as to why no action has been taken against Trump's account, Twitter updated its policies to explain why it won't ban him.
In addition to Trump's tweets being "newsworthy," here is a section from the enforcement options page, which could also be applied to his account:
"Exposure to different viewpoints can help people learn from one another, become more tolerant, and make decisions about the type of society we want to live in.
To help ensure people have an opportunity to see every side of an issue, there may be the rare occasion when we allow controversial content or behavior which may otherwise violate our Rules to remain on our service because we believe there is a legitimate public interest in its availability."
In response to Dorsey's refusal to act, Resistance SF is also planning a physical protest called "Trump goes or @jack goes" at San Francisco's Twitter HQ on Wednesday, Jan. 3.
UPDATE Jan. 3, 6:18 p.m. PT: Resistance SF's protest returned to Twitter headquarters on Wednesday night. The group projected onto the building, "Be a hero: Ban Trump."
Some people held physical signs with similar messages.
