The Trump name continued to experience a growth in Twitter followers despite the former president remaining suspended on the platform.

Three of former President Donald Trump's children have added thousands of followers since President Joe Biden was sworn in Jan. 20, per Newsweek on Monday.

Between Jan. 20-24, Ivanka Trump gained 54,839 followers, Donald Trump Jr. added 75,946, and Tiffany Ariana Trump gathered 25,565, according to social media tracking service Social Blade.

Donald Trump's fourth child, Eric Trump, saw the number of his Twitter followers fall 16 consecutive days and dropped more than 302,500 between Jan. 7-22.

Trump Jr. and his female siblings had seen their followers increase consistently until Jan. 9, a day after Twitter began removing far-right content, with tens of thousands of accounts suspended.

Twitter began taking action two days after a mob violently stormed the Capitol.

"These accounts were engaged in sharing harmful QAnon-associated content at scale and were primarily dedicated to the propagation of this conspiracy theory across the service," Twitter wrote in a Jan. 12 blog post.

"Our updated enforcement on QAnon content, along with routine spam challenges, has resulted in changes in follower count for some people's Twitter accounts. In some cases these actions may have resulted in follower count changes in the thousands."

Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Tiffany Trump collectively lost more than 98,000 followers Jan. 9 alone. Social Blade analytics suggested the three Trumps lost tens of thousands more followers during the ensuing week.

Twitter's mass censorship caused Republicans and conservative personalities to complain about the company's actions.

Donald Trump's account was suspended Jan. 8 for allegedly inciting the Capitol violence and potentially more unruly protests, according to Twitter. Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have blocked or restricted the former president's accounts.
