Mark Zuckerberg just announced he’s blocking 45’s Facebook and Instagram indefinitely.The news comes on the heels of Twitter’s decision to shut down Trump’s foolishness on their platform.
In a post on his Facebook page, Marky Mark wrote:
The shocking events of the
last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to
use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful
transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.
His
decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions
of his supporters at the Capitol building has rightly disturbed people
in the US and around the world. We removed these statements yesterday
because we judged that their effect — and likely their intent — would be
to provoke further violence.
Following
the certification of the election results by Congress, the priority for
the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining 13 days and
the days after inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with
established democratic norms.
Over
the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our
platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or
labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because
we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access
to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context
is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite
violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.
We
believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our
service during this period are simply too great. 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.
