About 20 protesters gathered outside Twitter's headquarters on Thursday evening to challenge the company's role in being a key communication tool for President Donald Trump.
A projector set up by the protestors displayed messages on the side of Twitter's building comparing Trump to Hitler.
Protesters also chanted messages including "Uphold your policy, ban Donald Trump" and "We need a leader, not a creepy tweeter."
A Twitter representative declined to comment on the protest when reached by Business Insider.

Twitter has previously said it will bar Trump, who now uses the handles @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS, if he violates the company's hate-speech rules. Thursday's protest was organized through a Facebook eventthat calls Twitter a "mouthpiece of fascism" for allowing Trump on the service.
"Twitter is allowing itself to be the mouthpiece of fascism and the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known," the protest's Facebook event says. "To this we say no. Twitter endangers the world by amplifying Dishonest Donald's ignorance in regards to foreign policy and nuclear proliferation. To this we say no."
Thursday's protest follows a similar demonstration outside Uber's headquarters last week, in which demonstrators protested Uber CEO Travis Kalanick's role on Trump's economic advisory team.
