Facebook blocks Trump posts for 24 hours, joining Twitter in suspending
president (updated)
- *Updated 9:03 p.m.:* That block applies to Trump's Instagram account
as well, Adam Mosseri clarifies.
- Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) has decided to block President Trump from posting
on the platform for 24 hours - the latest and most severe step it's taken
with the president's account in today's events.
- Earlier, it had removed a video posted by Trump urging Capitol rioters
to go home (but still offering them love and repeating baseless claims
that
the election was stolen from him).
- Now by blocking the president from posting, Facebook joins peer
Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), which earlier this evening locked Trump's account
on that platform for 12 hours (and threatened potential permanent
suspension).
- A spokesman says "We've assessed two policy violations against
President Trump's Page which will result in a 24-hour feature block,
meaning he will lose the ability to post on the platform during that
time," according
to Mike Isaac of the *The New York Times.*
