Facebook To Reinstate Trump's Accounts Following 2-year Suspension Facebook and Instagram banned Donald Trump from the social media platform two years ago, after falsely claiming that the former US president praised the people participating at the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021. In a blog post Wednesday, Meta's global affairs president Nick Clegg, said "the suspension was an extraordinary decision taken in extraordinary circumstances." Clegg said "the normal state of affairs is that the public should be able to hear from a former President of the United States, and a declared candidate for that office again, on our platforms." Trump has announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. "The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying -- the good, the bad and the ugly -- so that they can make informed choices at the ballot box," Clegg wrote. "But that does not mean there are no limits to what people can say on our platform. When there is a clear risk of real world harm -- a deliberately high bar for Meta to intervene in public discourse -- we act." The global affairs president says that if Trump posts violating content, it "will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation." https://www.keneci.com/hotfeed-read-more#h.rniv5pk6truh
