Meta restores Donald Trump’s access to Facebook, Instagram

Meta Platforms Inc. has restored former U.S. President Donald Trump’s entry to Fb and Instagram, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed on Thursday, following a two-year suspension after the lethal Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Meta in January stated it might carry Trump’s suspension “within the coming weeks” and would institute heightened penalties of a suspension between one month and two years if the previous president violated its content material insurance policies once more.

Trump now regains entry to key platforms for voter outreach and political fundraising forward of one other run for the White Home in 2024. He had 23 million followers on Instagram and 34 million on Fb as of January.
