Facebook announces blocking of Trump until at least Jan. 20

Facebook (Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies by video message during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington, D.C., Nov. 17, 2020.

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of online social networking platform Facebook (Facebook), announced Thursday (7) that he will suspend U.S. President Donald Trump‘s Facebook account for at least two weeks, citing the possibility that Trump could undermine the transfer of power to Biden. Earlier, a U.S. legal group had accused Zuckerberg of investing $500 million to interfere in the U.S. election, causing damage and chaos in swing states.

Zuckerberg announced on Facebook on Thursday that Facebook would shut down Trump’s account for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of presidential power to Biden, a decision that could also be extended indefinitely.

In the post, he claimed that the events of the past 24 hours show that Trump “intends to use his remaining time to undermine the peaceful and legal transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.” The posting also emphasized that “after Congress confirms the election results, it is now imperative that the entire country ensure that the remaining 13 days and the days following the inauguration are spent peacefully and in accordance with established democratic norms.”

The “events of the past 24 hours” referred to in Zuckerberg’s post are mainly about the break-in at the Capitol by some protesters on the afternoon of the 6th. Despite subsequent evidence on the Internet that several of those who led the break-in were identified as members of left-wing extremist groups, Zuckerberg blamed Trump for the incident.

Last Dec. 16, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization, released a 39-page report accusing Zuckerberg of giving $500 million to election officials in certain states during the 2020 presidential election to The report alleges that Zuckerberg violated U.S. election laws by providing $500 million to election officials in certain states to exert unfair and undue influence on voters during the 2020 presidential election in order to facilitate the election of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The report also suggests that Facebook may have influenced the U.S. election by selling users’ personal information.

Former Kansas Attorney General Phillip Kline, director of the Amistad Project, tweeted on Dec. 15 that the funding of the election’s public administration “violates state election laws, undermines the election process, and denies due process and equal protection to voters.

On Dec. 12, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro also posted that Zuckerberg appeared intent on handing the U.S. over to the Chinese Communist Party “by using large sums of money to put his black hand on the presidential election. He also said there is evidence that the “fact checkers” used by Facebook to censor pro-Trump statements are the Chinese Communist Party.

In the run-up to the 2020 U.S. election, big tech companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google and its oil pipe (YouTube) have collectively blocked the computer-gate scandal involving Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and have continued to crack down on the spread of pro-Trump rhetoric. In the process of massive fraud in the election being revealed one after another, these big tech companies have also been labeling or even hiding, deleting and other suppression practices on related news, which is questioned by netizens whether they have been reduced to partisan propaganda tools and thugs.
