Facebook blocks new events around DC and state capitols
As a precaution against coordinated violence as the U.S. approaches President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, Facebook announced a few new measures it’s putting in place.
In a blog post and tweets from Facebook Policy Communications Director Andy Stone, the company explained that it would block any events slated to happen near the White House, the U.S. Capitol or any state capitol building through Wednesday.
Update: Through Inauguration Day, we re blocking the creation of new Facebook events happening in close proximity to DC and state capitols. And we re doing a secondary review of inauguration-related events and removing policy-violating ones. https://t.co/AV6z0gSTiu
