Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said Monday that last week's deadly U.S. Capitol riots were mainly organized on other social media platforms.
“We again took down QAnon, Proud Boys, Stop the Steal, anything that was talking about possible violence last week,” Sandberg said during a streamed interview with Reuters, CNBC noted.
“Our enforcement is never perfect, so I’m sure there were still things on Facebook,” added Sandberg. “I think these events were largely organized on platforms that don’t have our abilities to stop hate, don’t have our standards and don’t have our transparency.”

One site that bills itself as a "free speech" social network, Parler, has faced intense backlash. It has been taken off the app stores for Apple and Google. Amazon has also stopped hosting the site on its web service, essentially knocking Parler offline.
During the interview with Reuters, Sandberg also stated that Facebook “had no plans” to lift the ban on Trump’s accounts. His accounts were banned until at least President-elect Joe Biden inauguration next week.
Twitter permanently banned Trump's account last week and deleted tweets he made later from the @POTUS Twitter account, saying users were not allowed to avoid a ban with another account. The pro-Trump Reddit group r/DonaldTrump was also taken down last week.
