FB and Instagram indefinitely, but at least two weeks until after the Transition of power.

Well, their viewpoints aren't often congruent with actuality.
I thought they were all on Parler, anyway, and had boycotted Twitter and Facebook?

Piers Morgan ditches Trump and says he needs to quit now, citing Trump's mental health.

I'm done with Donald Trump. I can't remain friends with someone that 'loves' a bunch of violent racist Nazi sympathisers who've just attacked the epicentre of US democracy itself - and thinks they're 'special people'.

Re: U.S Election 2020
This is censorship in it's purest form, and this will not quell or calm down Trump's base, it will just fire them back up again. Mark Zuckerberg is running a dying platform, I rarely use FB these days and Instagram, I always found a bit naff.

Re: U.S Election 2020
With the way Mr T is behaving, wonder if they could "Truman Show" him? Slip him a mickey and move him to a set a bit like the White House, get some extras or others in "the know" to help, give him "THE BUTTON" and access to a walled off internet.
You could even televise him for comedic relief and occasionally feed in real news stories to see how he reacts and think about what would happen if in the real world.

How is it censorship?
Just like CF, FB has rules - if people break the rules, they get suspended/frakked/banned.

No CF is not like FB and Twitter at all. I know you've like often wanted to turn CF in to social media with your gifs and memes Hugh, social media is different, yes it has rules but it is a platform full of followers, Trump is still the president and a high profile person to just remove and outright ban, suspending him yesterday was justified, but an outright ban will just inflame his base and alienate millions of people who will still support him, what about when the riots started last year and buildings were torched and businesses destroyed in many States, Zuckerberg said nothing then, that I recall. Banning Trump completely, you're just going to turn up the heat on an already heated situation.
As with many things with high profile people, censoring them just increases their voice.

They're worried about he might say next is the thing. Everyone is concerned about that and what he'll do in the next couple of weeks.

Re: U.S Election 2020
It really isn't censorship because what Facebook and Twitter have done is not state sponsored or directed. They are commercial enterprises, with terms of use not unlike the ones we have here (except of much greater length). FB and twitter have to be a lot more careful and socially responsible than we do due to their reach and power, but they are still commercial enterprises with their own rules at the end of the day and if a user breaks them, they are entitled to kick them off the platform, just as we are.

Yeah but the people we have kicked off over the years haven't had millions of followers or been the president of the US.

Quote:
Former Attorney General William Barr says President Donald Trump’s conduct as a violent mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol was a “betrayal of his office and supporters.”
Barr said Thursday that “orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable” in a statement obtained by NBC News. The Associated Press was the first to report Barr's remarks.
Barr was one of Trump’s most loyal and ardent defenders in the Cabinet.

As much as he has said he uses twitter and facebook to get his message out there, he wouldn't need them to publicly speak out, he could walk out of the White House right now or invite the WH press pool in and they would stream his message to the world and because of where we are, practically every news network in the world would cover it.
