https://www.barrons.com/news/facebo...ely-for-inciting-violence-01610048405?tesla=y Facebook banned President Donald Trump from the platform "indefinitely" due to his efforts to incite violence at the US Capitol, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday. Zuckerberg said the 24-hour ban announced Wednesday on Trump's accounts including on Instagram was extended because of Trump's "use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government." The Facebook CEO added: "The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden." The announcement came the day after the outgoing US leader was locked out of all major social media platforms due to his false claims about the legitimacy of his loss to Biden, and for inciting the angry mob that stormed the US Capitol. "We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page.
Pretty sure I've been calling this for the last 18 months or so, that on his way out the door he would try to sabotage the country, just to make it that much harder for his replacement to do his job. Scorched-earth policy. I recall saying it was more about sabotaging the economy, but this works just as well. On NFL Fantasy Live, this would be labeled as a "humble brag". Hehe.
Good! At least somebody got some damn balls. While Zuckerberg is in a banning mode, why doesn't he ban the rest of the scum?
