Some content that promotes violence is removed. Such as an invitation to bring weapons to several locations throughout the United States. Likewise with photos and videos of demonstrators on Capitol Hill.

“Yesterday we deleted Trump’s statements because they were judged to have their effect – most likely their intention – to provoke further violence,” wrote Zuckerberg, Friday (8/1/2021).

Facebook will also take some additional steps to tighten uploads on its social media, such as asking group admins to moderate post material before uploading.

Comments on groups containing hateful and violent speech will be automatically deleted. Facebook will also take down content that is indicated as violating its rules.

Prior to Facebook, Twitter temporarily closed its @realDonaldTrump account for 12 hours after deleting three tweets deemed misleading.
