Meta eases restrictions on Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts
2024-07-14
[IsraelTimes] Meta says it’s rolling back some restrictions that had applied to former US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The social media company indefinitely suspended Trump’s accounts following his praise of people who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The company then reinstated his accounts in early 2023, saying it would monitor Trump’s posts for further violations that could result in another suspension of between one month and two years.

, will no longer be subject to the additional monitoring, Meta says.

"In assessing our responsibility to allow political expression, we believe that the American people should be able to hear from the nominees for president on the same basis," Meta says in an updated blog post.

Some social media experts have long criticized Meta and other platforms for failing to moderate political content, including from political candidates.

Trump was also banned from Twitter, now called X, in 2021. Billionaire Elon Musk restored the account shortly after acquiring the company in 2022, though Trump has only posted once since then.

#1  Too little too late. Whatever government entity is dictating censorship needs to be disbanded and all the perps charged with Civil Rights violations.
