"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."

At some point Facebook is going to have to take a stand on which one it is. Indefinitely or for the next two weeks.

I cannot believe it took them this long to realize the immense amount of harm Trump has been causing via social media. But I guess "better late than never" applies here.

Now that Trump doesn't serve any value to Twitter or Facebook the bans come. Before they justified his behavior because he brought them viewers. It may be cynical but too convenient to play the morality card now.

I don't think we want facebook making these decisions for themselves, but without adequate regulatory guidelines, they are in a no win situation.
