He was banned for two years, but Donald Trump will soon be allowed back on Facebook and Instagram. The suspension of the former US president will be lifted “in the coming weeks”, the social media company Meta has announced.
Nick Clegg, the British former deputy prime minister and now director at Meta, says people should be able to hear what politicians have to say. Trump will be watched, Clegg warned. If he crosses another border, measures will follow again, it sounds. Messages can be deleted or their reach can be limited. A new suspension is also not ruled out.
Trump was suspended after the Capitol storming of early January 2021; his inflammatory messages would have led to the violence and therefore constituted a “serious violation” of our rules, Meta said. Twitter also blocked him, but on that medium he was accepted again after the takeover by Elon Musk.
Trump founded his own social media platform, Truth Social, after his suspension. He then says that Facebook has lost billions due to the decision to exclude him. “That should never happen again to a sitting president, or anyone who doesn’t deserve it,” he writes.
The 76-year-old Trump wants to make another attempt to become president, he announced in November.
