Facebook has shut down President Trump’s account through the end of his term. 'But why did it take an attempted coup for Twitter and Facebook to act?' writes columnist Erika_D_Smith

After the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, Facebook suspends Trump’s account through Jan. 20. ‘The risks ... are simply too great,’ says CEO Zuckerberg.Trump still has a Twitter account, though. After most of the MAGA people had already been cleared from the Capitol, the company said it would lock the president out of his account for 12 hours and warned that he could be booted off the platform permanently.

Why did it take an attempted coup for Twitter and Facebook to act? And why does the outgoing president still have an account at all? Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska had it right when he tweeted that the Capitol “was ransacked while the leader of the free world cowered behind his keyboard — tweeting,” and that Wednesday’s “violence was the inevitable and ugly outcome of the president’s addiction to constantly stoking division.”
