Meta to lift ban on Trumps Facebook and Instagram accounts

2024/07/13 08:52

Odaily News With the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaching, Meta said on Friday that it will lift any penalties and restrictions previously imposed on former President Donald Trumps Facebook and Instagram accounts. The company first took action against Trumps social media accounts in 2021, shortly after the riots in Washington, D.C. on January 6. At the time, Meta believed that some of Trumps actions posed a potential risk of inciting violence, so it suspended his account for two years. In January 2023, Meta said it would restore Trumps status on its platform, and he regained access to his account the following month. But Trump is still subject to remaining penalties and restrictions, which could result in his social media accounts facing long-term bans. According to Metas latest statement, if Trump violates the companys community guidelines, he will face a shorter ban that may only last a few days. Nick Clegg, president of Meta Global Affairs, wrote in a blog post on Friday that the initial suspension and penalties were in response to extreme and special circumstances, and no action is necessary at this time. A Meta spokesperson described the update as simply comparing Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, to President Biden. (CNBC)
