Facebook blocks Trump from platform indefinitely after Capitol riot response By FOX News President Donald Trump speaks at the "Stop The Steal" Rally on January 06, 2021 in Washington, DC. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday said that President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts will be blocked "indefinitely," and for at least the next two weeks before Inauguration Day. "We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," Zuckerberg said in a statement Thursday. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."
