After Twitter ban, he’s now barred from Facebook

-

THE President’s Facebook and Instagram accounts have been suspended ‘indefinite­ly’.

Social media boss Mark Zuckerberg said the ‘shocking events’ spurred his decision.

Mr Zuckerberg accused Mr Trump of ‘using our platform to incite violent insurrecti­on against a democratic­ally elected government’. He added: ‘We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our services are simply too great.’

It came after Twitter, Mr Trump’s social media platform of choice, suspended his account for 12 hours. However, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino tweeted on his behalf: ‘Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, neverthele­ss there will be an orderly transition on January 20.’
