In some of the more obscure corners of the internet, the calls for violence and revolution have been consistent among what appeared to be a subset of U.S. President Donald Trump’s supporters in the months since he lost re-election.
Facebook Bans President Trump From Posting For The Rest Of His Presidency
at 10:50 am NPR
Facebook said Thursday it is banning President Trump until the end of his presidency and possibly longer. It is the most forceful action a social network has taken against Trump, who has spent months using social media to amplify disinformation and cast doubt on his loss in the presidential election.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that removing or labeling Trump s posts is not enough in the current environment in which Trump has used Facebook to encourage mob violence on the U.S. Capitol. We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great, Zuckerberg wrote. Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.
