Any content that praising the Trump supporters or encouragement of Wednesday’s events, including photos, videos, and content posted to the #StormTheCapitol hashtag. 

In a blog post,  Facebook VP of Integrity Guy Rosen and VP of Global Policy Management Monika Bickert wrote: 

“At this point, they represent promotion of criminal activity which violates our policies,” 

In addition, the company will also clamp down on any kind of protest that violates Washington D.C.’s newly implemented curfew.
