Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls out Donald Trump as Facebook bans him for the duration of presidency

Facebook and Instagram will bar US President Donald Trump from posting on its system at least until the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

In a post announcing the unprecedented move, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said the risk of allowing Mr Trump to use the platform is too great following the President’s incitement of a mob that touched off a deadly riot in the US Capitol on Wednesday.

Mr Zuckerberg says Mr Trump’s account will be locked “for at least the next two weeks” but could remain locked indefinitely.
