Facebook e Instagram suspenden indefinidamente las cuentas de Trump

Zuckerberg asegura que es demasiado arriesgado permitir que el presidente siga utilizando los servicios de la red social

El fundador y CEO de Facebook Inc, Mark Zuckerberg, ha asegurado en un mensaje en su cuenta personal de la red social que tanto Facebook como Instagram extenderán “de manera indefinida”, y al menos durante las próximas dos semanas, el bloqueo a las cuentas de Donald Trump, tras los graves incidentes de este miércoles.
Cientos de manifestantes irrumpieron en el Capitolio de Estados Unidos para forzar que el Congreso no declarara la derrota electoral del presidente saliente, incitados por sus mensajes en redes sociales en los que denunciaba un “fraude electoral”.

“Creemos que los riesgos de permitir que el presidente continúe utilizando nuestro servicio durante este período son simplemente demasiado grandes. Por lo tanto, estamos extendiendo el bloqueo de sus cuentas de Facebook e Instagram de manera indefinida y al menos durante las próximas dos semanas hasta que se complete la transición pacífica del poder”, escribe Zuckerberg.

Asi posteo Zuckerberg en su rredes sociales:

The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.

His decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters at the Capitol building has rightly disturbed people in the US and around the world. We removed these statements yesterday because we judged that their effect -- and likely their intent -- would be to provoke further violence.

Following the certification of the election results by Congress, the priority for the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining 13 days and the days after inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with established democratic norms.

Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.

We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. 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
