President Trump will be restricted from posting on his Facebook or Instagram accounts through at least the end of his term, Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said, extending a ban implemented after the company determined recent posts sought to incite violence or undermine the election process.

Twitter Inc. said Mr. Trump would regain the ability to use his personal account on Thursday. The social-media company Wednesday temporarily locked Mr. Trump's Twitter account after removing three of his tweets from public viewing, saying they represented "repeated and severe violations" of its policies.

Facebook also removed posts from President Trump and temporarily locked his account. The restrictions were implemented after pro-Trump rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol Wednesday and threatened lawmakers.
