Facebook Chief Fascist, Mark Zuckerberg, took his platform one more step towards complete censorship of the right after announced today that President Donald Trump will be blocked from using both Facebook and Instagram, “for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.”
In addition, he blatantly lied to the American people and said Trump “condoned” violence in DC yesterday.
Zuckerberg blocked Trump’s accounts temporarily on Wednesday, following Trump’s posts on the election, which Facebook blamed for inciting violence during the Capitol Hill protests that led to the death of four people and 50 plus arrests.
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. Following the certification of the election results by Congress, the priority for the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining 13 days and the days after inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with established democratic norms. Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. 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.

However, Zuckerberg noted in his statement that the ban is extended “indefinitely,” or at least until Biden takes over as President.
Facebook and Instagram removed Trump’s video post Wednesday.
This comes one day after Twitter suspended the President, also claiming to do so based on the false narrative that he ‘incited violence’ in D.C.
In the video posted to both accounts, Trump asked the rioters to go home in peace.
