He has been running the “STOP THE STEAL” campaign on social media with his post reaching massive followers. The engagement of his posts has been very high. However, the account will be reactivated after power transition which will happen later this month.
Marc Zuckerberg say…
“We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. 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,” he said.
