Facebook is no longer allowing people to create new events near the White House or US Capitol until after Inauguration Day.
The social media platform said it would review all Facebook events in close proximity to the state capitol buildings, removing any events that violate site policy.
The decision comes after violent riots in Washington DC last Wednesday, where rioters stormed the Capitol building to protest president-elect Joe Biden's election win.
Five people died, including a Capitol police officer.
"We're monitoring for signals of violence or other threats both in Washington DC and across all 50 states," Facebook said in a blog post on Saturday (NZ time).
Facebook will also block all inauguration-related events near the Capitol created by non-US based accounts and pages.
The platform's ongoing pause on political advertising will also remain during this time.
All political ads were halted indefinitely when the US election polls closed on November 3 to "reduce opportunities for confusion or abuse".
"We are promoting accurate information about the election and the violence at the Capitol instead of content that our systems predict may be less accurate," Facebook said on Friday.
More than 20,000 troops set to be in Washington DC by inauguration day on Wednesday (US time), as officials gear up for pro-Trump marches at all 50 state capitols.
