Facebook bans Stop the Steal, to remove all content ahead of Biden inaugaration

Facebook announced that it will remove content that contains the phrase ‘stop the steal’ under their Coordinating Harm policy from Facebook and Instagram, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration on January 20.

The stop the seal phrase is widely being used by the supporters of outgoing US President Donald Trump to allege election fraud.

The Facebook official statement said: We are now removing content containing the phrase ‘stop the steal’ under our Coordinating Harm policy from Facebook and Instagram. We removed the original ‘Stop the Steal’ group in November and have continued to remove pages, groups and events that violate any of our policies, including calls for violence.
