Meta has lifted the final restrictions on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the run up to US presidential elections in November.
The ex-US president and convicted felon’s accounts were suspended in 2021 after he praised supporters who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January.
Trump’s accounts, which combined have over 60 million followers, were re-instated in 2023 but subject to additional monitoring, which has now been removed, the social media giant said in a blog post.
Meta said it had a responsibility to allow political expression and that Americans should be able to hear from presidential nominees on an equal basis.
Meta said fascists should have their voices heard. Zuck’s a coward, what a fucking surprise.
Trump recently threatened multiple times to jail zuck. I wouldn’t be suprised if that had an impact on this decision.
E: though tbf it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he’s letting trump back on the platform because he wouldn’t mind him winning. After all, trump is good for billionaires, there’s no question about that…
And if he loses, ban him again for saying something malicious and appear to be doing diligence
Terrorism works I guess.
