The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Washington, US | THE INDEPENDENT | Mark Zuckerberg says President Trump has been banned from Facebook and Instagram ‘indefinitely’.
In a statement, facebook said, “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.”
FULL STATEMENT BY MARK ZUCKERBERG
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.
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.
We removed these statements yesterday because we judged that their effect — and likely their intent — would be to provoke further violence.
