Facebook blocks occasions round D.C. and state capitals forward of inauguration

Facebook is cracking down on occasions in an effort to stop its customers from organizing violence forward of Joe Biden’s inauguration. The social community says it should block all occasions in areas round Washington D.C. and state capitals by subsequent week’s inauguration.

“We are blocking the creation of any new Facebook events happening in close proximity to locations including the White House, the US Capitol building and any of the state capitol buildings through Inauguration Day,” Facebook writes in an replace. “Our operations center is also conducting a secondary review of all Facebook events related to the inauguration and removing ones that violate our policies.”
