Facebook Blocks creation of new events near the White House or Capitol until after Inauguration Day and says it is 'monitoring signals of violence and threats in DC and across all 50 states'
Facebook has declared that it won't allow people to create new events near key Washington, DC, locations and state capitols until after Inauguration Day.
The social media giant made the announcement Friday, revealing that it will be blocking people from creating new events near the White House, Capitol Building or any state capitol buildings in the US until after January 20, when President-Elect Biden is sworn in.
Facebook said it will also be reviewing all inauguration-related events that've already been created.
The company will be removing any events that violate site policies, too, as well as blocking events that have been set up to be held in the US, but were created by accounts or pages that are based in other countries.

High School Principal ‘On Leave’ After Criticizing Social Media Censorship
A high school principal has been relieved of his duties — at least temporarily — after he criticized social media censorship to students this week.
Principal Barton Thorne, who leads Cordova High School in Tennessee’s Shelby County Schools “was critical of the riots at the Capitol,” WREG reported, but “he objected to actions taken by several social media platforms.”
“It’s what’s going on with Twitter and Facebook and Google and Apple, and their decision as private companies to filter and to decide what you, you hear and know about,” Thorne told students in a recording which the news station did not air.
Thorne reportedly did not make the comments in defense of President Donald Trump, but rather free speech.
