Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the policy Thursday, citing the president’s conduct following the mob violence at the Capitol.

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