Facebook Suspends Trump Until He Is Not Potus

[Ellipsis]

If it's too great a risk for Facebook to allow him on their platform, how great a risk is it for America and the rest of the world that this man is the President, with all the power that goes with that?

Donald Trump has been suspended from his Facebook account for at least two weeks - and possibly indefinitely.

It means the president will be unable to post on Facebook and Instagram until after the transition of power to Joe Biden on 20 January.

The social network had originally imposed a 24-hour ban after his supporters attacked the US Capitol.

Facebook's chief Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the risks of allowing Mr Trump to post "are simply too great".

Good. Seems sensible.

[ynnafymmi]

This Facebook and Twitter thing is a bit disturbing as far as i am concerned.Have looked into both and as far as can see both are an aberration of society and life.A plague on both their houses.

[ummmm]

Good. It'll give him a little bit more time to reflect on his actions.

[Mamyalynne]

A very wise move on their part.

[jim360]

Hahahahahahahahahaha oh wait are you being serious ummm?

[Ellipsis]

A POTUS, with his finger on the nuclear button, who is deemed too risky to allow onto Facebook!

[jno]

social media are just ways to keep in touch with your mates, they're not good or bad, just convenient. But if your mates are an armed mob, better that you be kept apart from them.

[ummmm]

No...he's not going to reflect on his actions, is he?

[ichkeria]

It is Trump who is the aberration.
This is a classic example of how free speech can be abused

I guess my point is that maybe this is a sign that the powers of his office should be taken away from him until his presidency is over. If he's not even fit to have access to his Facebook account ...

[ynnafymmi]

Sorry jno,but no.Looked into a twitter posting about Priti Patel.Misogynistic,racist,sexist and this was coming from Labour Party supporters.

[jno]

indeed... he'll be filling in his Twitter break by fiddling with red buttons in his office

[Peter Pedant]

erm he will just post by proxy innit?
as he used scavino last night

[Peter Pedant]

Jim - please do not ridicule or humiliate the less something ABers

[tiggerblue10]

Good.

Fiddling with red buttons while America burns.....

[jno]

as long as he doesn't touch the red button that says DO NOT TOUCH THIS BUTTON

[andy-hughes]

It is worrying that he still has his powers until the transfer is complete, and he clearly shows no sign of leaving office with dignity - rather to trash as much as he can while he can.

[burlyshirley]

What's all this talk about pressing the red button ? He's been in power for four years and pressed no such button, but he's gonna press it now ? What the hell difference will it make whether he posts on FB or not ?

The witch hunt is well spiralling now !!

[andy-hughes]

burlyshirley - // What the hell difference will it make whether he posts on FB or not ? //

Because his communications are not even a veiled call to insurrection, and the level of civil protest that has led to deaths, and Facebook cannot sanction such behaviour - that's what the hell difference it makes.

[ichkeria]

"What the hell difference will it make whether he posts on FB or not ?"

Inciting his folks by pressing their "red buttons" in all the right places.
He's good at that (so he claims)
