Facebook and Instagram to reactivate Donald Trump’s account
Meta has announced that it will reactivate Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, thus ending his two-year suspension following the former American president’s exclusion due to the Capitol robbery.
“The public must be able to hear what politicians say to be able to make informed choices”, justified Nick Clegg, responsible for international affairs at Meta, in a statement. When there is a real-world risk of harm – a high risk that justifies Meta’s intervention in the public debate they do
Donald Trump had been excluded from the social network on January 7, 2021, when he was still president, for encouraging his supporters during the attack on Congress in Washington. This unprecedented decision was imitated at the time by most major social networks, including Twitter and Snapchat.
In June 2021, Facebook had decided that the deletion would last for two years, and that Donald Trump could only return when the risks to public safety had disappeared.
It turns out that the main interested party reacted on his social network Truth following the announcement of the return of his Instagram and Facebook accounts. Suspension “must never happen again to a sitting president or anyone else who doesn’t deserve punishment!” he said. As a reminder, Twitter already restored Donald Trump’s account last November.
