Zuckerberg said this in a post on Facebook while reacting to the violence perpetrated at the Capitol by Trump supporters, who wanted to stop the US Congress from certifying the election, which Joe Biden won.
The billionaire said for years Facebook and Instagram had allowed Trump to use the platform to say all sorts but this time, it was time to implement desperate measures since it had become obvious that Trump was instigating violence.

LOVERS of democracy and liberty watched in horror on January 6, 2021 as the misguided supporters of the United States President, Donald Trump, invaded the US Capitol in a bid to stop the certification of the Electoral College vote affirming the results of the 2020 presidential election won by the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden.
The US, which has for over 200 years been revered as the bastion of democracy, was shaken to its foundation as rioters danced to the tune of a demagogue notorious for promoting lies, hatred and appeals to primordial sentiments. In the aftermath, four persons were killed, while several others were injured in the violence, which was absolutely avoidable. Also, three improvised explosive devices were reported to have been found: one on Capitol grounds, and one each at the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee offices.
