Thursday, 07 January 2021 (YJC)_ Facebook CEO announced the social media platform would be extending a block on the US President.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg announced Thursday the social media platform would be extending a block on President Donald Trump's account "indefinitely" after he repeatedly posted false accusations about the integrity of the election. The lockout also includes the company's other platform, Instagram.
Zuckerberg said the risk of allowing Trump to use the platform is "too great," following his incitement of a mob that later touched off a deadly riot in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Trump’s account will be locked “for at least the next two weeks” but could remain locked indefinitely.
"We believe the risks of allowing President Trump to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great, so we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks."
Twitter on Wednesday also temporarily locked President Trump’s account. It said Thursday that it had no news to report on further actions on Trump's account.
