Facebook will restore the account of former US President Trump after two years
Facebook suspended Trump’s account on January 7, 2021, following the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Parliament Complex (Capital Hill). Trump (76) had announced in November last year that he would present his claim in the 2024 presidential election.
Washington. The company ‘Meta Platforms Inc’ said that it will restore the accounts of former US President Donald Trump’s social media platforms Facebook and Instagram. ‘Meta’ is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Facebook suspended Trump’s account on January 7, 2021, following the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Parliament Complex (Capital Hill). Trump (76) had announced in November last year that he would present his claim in the 2024 presidential election.
“The suspension was an extraordinary decision made in extraordinary circumstances,” Meta’s global affairs president Nick Clegg said in a statement on Wednesday. They can make a reasoned decision.” Clegg stressed that under its new newsworthy content policy, if ‘Meta’ thought Trump had made a statement that could exacerbate any potential damage, So he can choose to restrict such ‘posts’, but they will still be visible on his account.
“We give people a chance to speak, even when what they say is unpleasant and factually incorrect,” Clegg said. That’s how a democracy is and people should be able to have their say,” he said. It’s all part of the ups and downs of life in a free society, no matter how unpleasant or wrong.” Clegg said the company is adding new rules to make sure no one breaks the rules again.
Social media platform Twitter also removed his account from the platform, but recently restored his account after Elon Musk took over the reins of the company. Trump has been speaking through his own site, ‘Truth Social’, after being banned from mainstream social media platforms. He released it after his account was ‘blocked’ on Twitter. Following Facebook’s announcement, Trump said on ‘Truth Social’, “Facebook, which has lost billions since deleting your beloved president’s account, has just announced that it is restoring my account.”
This should never happen again to the current President or anyone else to whom this should not be done. Allegations were made. Amidst these allegations of Trump, his alleged supporters had committed violence in the Parliament House complex on January 6.
