Facebook bans Trump's account for at least the end of his term

Facebook bans Trump's account for at least the end of his term

 07 January 2021 07:14 PM
Mubasher: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that President Donald Trump will be banned from posting on the social media platform, at least until the end of his term.

And "Facebook" said yesterday that it will close Trump's account for 24 hours, after the riots by his supporters in front of Congress.

Zuckerberg added in a statement on his Facebook page today, Thursday, that the horrific events of the past 24 hours clearly show that Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and legal transfer of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.

The Facebook founder added: “His decision to use his account on the platform to condone the actions of his supporters on the Capitol building instead of condemning them led to inconveniencing people in the United States and around the world. We removed these statements yesterday because we saw that their effect - and perhaps their intention - would be to incite more violence. ".

Zuckerberg explained that after the ratification of the election results by Congress, the priority for the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining thirteen days and the days following the inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with established democratic standards.

The founder of Facebook stated: “Over the past several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform in accordance with our own rules, sometimes removing content or categorizing his posts when it violates our policies. We did so because we believe the public has the right to access the broadest spectrum of speech possible. Political, even controversial rhetoric. "

He continued: "But the current context is fundamentally different, as it includes the use of our platform to incite a violent rebellion against a democratically elected government."

Zuckerberg added that allowing the president to continue using our services during this period is simply too great a risk, so: "We will extend the ban that we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least two weeks until the peaceful transfer of power is complete."

I deleted my FB account back in October. While I miss keeping up with family and friends and the daily events at the small animal rescue where I volunteer, I do not regret taking this step. MeWe is an alternative and is growing significantly from those departing FB. Although their platform is not as good, they don’t censor. For Twitter users, the alternatives are Parler and Rumble.
