#32> involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.
From my understanding the video that got banned asked everyone to go home peacefully but then continued to claim election fraud?

#33If pointing an armed and angry mob at the Capitol itself isn't over the line, nothing is. I don't like Facebook and haven't used it in years but this is the right move. Four people are dead today because they listened to Donald Trump, and FB and Twitter bear some responsibility for handing him that megaphone. Stopping him from calling for further violence is the bare minimum they can do here.
I keep seeing 'armed mob' posted everywhere without any evidence. What were they armed with? I watched the whole thing live from many angles and I saw plenty of people doing dumb shit like breaking windows and such. The majority just waltzed in took a tour and walked out. They even obeyed the velvet ropes in the entryway.
edit: looks like at least one person was inside the capitol with a firearm and four others were arrested in DC for open carrying firearms.

#34What exactly Trump said to spark this? All information I found is rumors, that he posted a video asking people to respect the police, stop the violence and go home. Anyone has seen the video and texts in question and can tell me? EDIT: mass downvoting people, seriously? I didn't even defend Trump (or Biden), I asked a question, I am from Brazil and wanted to know what happened.
I've seen the video. It says to go home, but it also says that the election was stolen and that Trump won in a landslide. On balance it says more to encourage the mob than calm them down.

Why aren’t we blaming anyone that died at CHAZ/CHOP on BLM?
It’s hard not to see the bending-over-backwards academic justifications for why we shouldn’t be suppressing riots last year as anything other than the pretext and lead up to what’s happening now.
I’m not calling legitimate protesting riots - rather the media was fully complicit with ignoring blatant rioting last year. Buildings were burning and government buildings were being swarmed and destroyed.
Riots needs to be suppressed with law and order - full stop. Unfortunately many seem 6 months late to this concept.

#36Now 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.
Anyone who was confused as to the purpose of Facebook and Twitter should hopefully now understand: they exist to make money.

#38"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.
Two weeks, but it'll feel like forever.
(More seriously, they'll wait until the dust has settled; they're hedging against the possibility of the peaceful transition of power not happening)

I found this page that shows Trump's deleted tweets: https://factba.se/topic/deleted-tweets
I don't know if the Facebook posts were the same though.

That's exactly what indefinitely means-- they haven't publicly decided when.
