Facebook have suspended US President Donald Trump, the president was suspended from Facebook and Instagram. That suspension will be reviewed after the transition of power to Joe Biden on 20 January.
The social network had originally imposed a 24-hour ban after the US Capitol attack.
Facebook’s chief, Mark Zuckerberg, wrote that the risks of allowing Mr Trump to post “are simply too great”.
Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook had removed the president’s posts “because we judged that their effect – and likely their intent – would be to provoke further violence”.
He said it was clear Mr Trump intended to undermine the transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden.
“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,” he wrote.
