DON CALL IT A COMEBACK! Facebook, Instagram Reinstate Donald Trump’s Account
Former President Donald Trump’s personal accounts for both Facebook and Instagram will be reinstated two years after he was suspended following the January 6th Capitol Riot.
“To assess whether the serious risk to public safety that existed in January 2021 has sufficiently receded, we have evaluated the current environment according to our Crisis Policy Protocol, which included looking at the conduct of the US 2022 midterm elections, and expert assessments on the current security environment. Our determination is that the risk has sufficiently receded, and that we should therefore adhere to the two-year timeline we set out. As such, we will be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks. However, we are doing so with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses,” said a spokesperson for the company.
