Facebook will block the creation of new events happening close to the White House, the U.S. Capitol building and any state capitol buildings through Joe Biden’s inauguration, the company said in a blog post.

The social media giant will also restrict some features for U.S. users based on signals like repeatedly violating the company’s policies.

Andy Stone, Facebook’s policy communications manager, also made the announcement on Twitter.

Update: Through Inauguration Day, we're blocking the creation of new Facebook events happening in close proximity to DC and state capitols. And we're doing a secondary review of inauguration-related events and removing policy-violating ones. https://t.co/AV6z0gSTiu

The company said earlier this week it was removing content with the phrase “stop the steal” across its platforms.
