Facebook imposes additional special restrictions ahead of inauguration

Facebook will prevent repeat violators of its policies from being able to stream live videos or create new events, groups or pages on its platform through Inauguration Day, the company said Friday evening.

In addition, Facebook is banning the creation of new event pages tied geographically to Washington, DC, and state capitols, the company announced in a blog post.

The move is intended to "further prevent people from trying to use our services to incite violence," Facebook said in an update to a blog post.

Facebook is currently reviewing existing Facebook events and removing those linked to the inauguration that violate company policies, it added.

Live streaming their crimes is not inciting violence.

Trump, the Gop, and right wing media incite violence.
