Mark Zuckerberg ‘Indefinitely’ Bans
Donald Trump From Facebook.
On Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg announced
that President Donald Trump had been
banned from Facebook and Instagram.
Trump’s accounts will remain banned for “at least”
the next two weeks and possibly “indefinitely.” .
Zuckerberg said his decision was due
to the “shocking events” that occurred
in the Capitol on Wednesday. .
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, Mark Zuckerberg, via Facebook.
He accused Trump of using his remaining
time in office to “undermine” the transition
of power to President-elect Joe Biden. .
Over the last several years, we have allowed
President Trump to use our platform consistent
with our own rules … But the current context is
now fundamentally different, involving use
of our platform to incite violent insurrection
against a democratically elected government, Mark Zuckerberg, via Facebook.
By removing Trump from the platforms,
Zuckerberg hopes to ensure that Inauguration
Day comes and goes “peacefully.” .
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. , Mark Zuckerberg, via Facebook.
Twitter and Snapchat similarly suspended
Trump’s accounts on Wednesday.
Shopify has also "terminated" all
stores affiliated with Trump, .
as the platform prohibits the promotion of
"organizations, platforms or people that threaten
or condone violence to further a cause."
