Facebook has now removed President Trump’s video from earlier Wednesday addressing his supporters, company spokesperson Andy Stone told CNN.

In the video, Trump had urged Capitol rioters to “go home” but struck a sympathetic tone and reiterated his debunked claims of election fraud.

In a tweet Wednesday, Facebook's VP of integrity Guy Rosen called this "an emergency situation," adding that Facebook is "taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence."

2. Fuck Facebook and Twitter.

Their services should be suspended until such time as they can be mediums for socializing rather than as a meeting room for terrorists.

I had a twitter account and am locked out because I made a mistake when updating my birth date of all things.

So I have no access and dump runs amuck? WTF?

FUCK TWITTER AND FACEBOOK I agree!

There is no honor left in the USA.

Who cannot agree with this statement after what we just witnessed?



Farewell America, we barely knew ye!
