Facebook is seeing an increase in signals that its users are planning violence, it has said.
The social network said that it has seen a rush of new efforts to organise gatherings across the country that could feature the same kinds of attacks that happened at the Capitol siege last week, Reuters reported, citing a spokesperson who asked not to be named.
Those riots in Washington, DC appear to have acted to bring together groups that are now making efforts to plan similar events across the country and on multiple dates, the company said, with a focus on Joe Biden’s inauguration on 20 January.
Facebook has seen evidence of such planning in the form of digital flyers that promote the events as well as other “signals”, Reuters reported.

SGT (Join to see) SPC John Smith - No need to start something you cannot finish boys and girls. Today is 15 Jan, where was FB prior? Did you read see something on CNN that stated how well FB contributed to, and saved the day by helping authorities in thwarting the much planned Capital attacks on 6 Jan?
FB is only just now contributing to not lose money... You always have to follow the money! They did nothing prior did they? Did not help stop one protest or assist in one arrest of anyone whom participated in any events last year did they...
FB is about to lose millions of followers. So you were saying something about that MBA - Schools out!
