Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced his platforms are banning Donald Trump at least for the next two weeks and perhaps indefinitely.
In a statement, Zuckerberg wrote:
“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” Zuckerberg wrote in the post. “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.”
CNN writes: “The decision marks a major escalation by Facebook as it and other platforms have come under intense pressure from advocacy groups and prominent figures to ban Trump following his inflammatory rhetoric encouraging insurrection.”
Now Trump has been banned from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
