AFTER A TWO-YEAR BAN, TRUMP CAN ONCE AGAIN ACCESS FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.

After a two-year suspension, former US President Donald Trump has been permitted access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The suspension of the politician’s accounts, which was put in place back in January 2021, was announced to be being reviewed by Meta, the parent company of both social media platforms, in January.

According to Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, the company conducted an evaluation to see “if the serious risk to the public safety that existed in January 2021 has adequately subsided.”

We assessed the current situation in accordance with our Crisis Policy Protocol, which involved considering the outcome of the US midterm elections in 2022 and expert opinions on the current security situation.

Our conclusion is that the risk has sufficiently diminished, and as a result, we should stick to the two-year schedule we established, he added.

To put in place “guardrails” that would “deter repeat offenses,” Clegg added, the reinstatement will not happen for a few weeks.

Trump’s accounts on many social media platforms were suspended as a result of his tweets, which sparked the uprising at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

In November of last year, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, Trump’s account was reinstated.

Trump, though, has stayed on his own site, Truth Social, and has refrained from using his Twitter account in any way.

Trump’s access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts were also reinstated on Thursday, according to a statement given to the New York Post by Meta’s spokesperson, Andy Stone.

Verification of the former President’s accounts, @realdonaldtrump on Instagram and @Donald J. Trump on Facebook, reveals that he has been reinstated on both websites.

After Trump declared his intention to run for president of the United States in 2024, the restoration took place.
