Facebook will block the creation of new events happening close to the White House, the U.S. Capitol building and any state capitol buildings through Joe Biden’s inauguration, the company said in a blog post.
The social media giant will also restrict some features for U.S. users based on signals like repeatedly violating the company’s policies.
