    Facebook to remove content containing 'stop the steal' phrase
  • Facebook has announced that it would remove all the content from its platform containing the phrase "stop the steal," which is being used by outgoing US President Donald Trump's supporters to allege election fraud.

    Trump and his supporters believe that there was massive voter fraud during the November 3 elections and have been using this phrase to often hold protests through social media outlets.

  • During the inauguration week, Facebook said it would add a news digest to Facebook News to find reliable news about the inauguration.

    "This will include a live video of the inauguration at the US Capitol on January 20. Facebook News often includes news digests dedicated to events of national or global significance with stories selected by the curation team," it said.
