Facebook Inc said on Monday it is pausing all of its contributions to political action committees for at least the current quarter, following the storming of the US Capitol last week.
Meanwhile, Facebook Inc's operations chief Sheryl Sandberg said on Monday the world's largest social network had no plans to lift its block on the accounts of US President Donald Trump, as the company clamped down on a phrase that has become a rallying cry for the president's supporters.
