President Trump will be banned from his Facebook and Instagram account indefinitely, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Thursday.

Zuckerberg’s decision follows a chaotic night of violent rioting that escalated at the U.S. Capitol following a pro-Trump rally to protest Congress’s certification of the election results, solidifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
