The recent storming of the US Capitol seems to be hitting President Donald Trump not only politically, but financially as well. CNN reports a growing number of businesses suddenly want very little to do with Trump after he incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol. Twitter and Facebook banned Trump indefinitely, and Stripe is no longer processing credit card payments for his campaign. Shopify stopped operating online stores for the Trump Organization and the campaign and the PGA is pulling a major golf tournament from a Trump resort. It's also unclear which, if any, banks will want to loan money to the Trump Organization.
Facebook temporarily paused its nationwide ban on political advertisements. This was to allow campaign messages about the Georgia senate runoffs. Facebook abruptly reversed course on Tuesday, according to Gizmodo. The news came via a blog post that the ban would resume following the election’s conclusion. Any ads about the Georgia runoff elections have been paused. Advertisers are not currently able to create new ads about social issues, elections, or politics.
The end of a demonstration near the Eiffel Tower in Paris is marked by a few incidents of discord, including the burning of garbage cans. Demonstrators gather at the call of journalists' unions against the proposed law 'global security' that would place limits on the filming of on-duty police officers, adopted the day before by the National Assembly.
