Facebook suspends Trump's accounts for 2 years, citing public safety risk
2021-06-05
[MSN] Facebook announced Friday a two-year ban of former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
from its platforms, including Instagram, until at least January 2023.

Facebook’s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said that Trump’s actions on its social media networks "constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols."

The decision came after Facebook’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said last month that the social media giant was justified in removing Trump’s access from its platforms the day after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Facebook was then directed to review the suspension.

The two-year extension of Trump’s suspension is effective from the date of the initial ban on Jan. 7.

The former president called the ban "an insult" in a statement Friday. "They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country can’t take this abuse anymore!" he said in a statement.

#14  Notice how the 'ban' just happens to cover the 2022 elections... I'm sure they will find an excuse to extend it to cover the 2024 as well...

#13  I dumped FacistBook earlier this year when they started flagging erything I sent. At one point a posting got three different flags.
Not to mention the bullshit they deliberately inject into your feed...

#12  Globalists such as Zu have fantasies of dominating the world. Problem is pesky Americans like Trump and his supporters has always stood in the way of Tyrants.

#7  Just imagine speaker Trump introducing legislation to revoke Section 230, or to outlaw cheat-by-mail, or holding hearings on Doctor Falsie's involvement with Wuhan.

#6  swksvolFF has an extremely interesting idea. Just imagine President Harris trying to negotiate a deal with Speaker Trump. It's enough to make me laugh out loud.
