After Twitter, it is on the platforms of the Meta group that Donald Trump could make his return. Facebook and Instagram had banned the former president of the United States since January 2021, after the invasion of the Capitol. The businessman had received a suspension of his accounts for two years. Therefore, the sanction should end on January 4, 2023.
According to the Financial Times, the deadline should not be respected. The decision to pardon Donald Trump or not must be made during the month of January. The case will be studied and decided by Nick Clegg, Facebook’s head of international affairs and communications.
The “highest possible penalty”
Former British Deputy Prime Minister, it was this person who confirmed the suspension of the former US president’s accounts in June 2021. Nick Clegg then assured that Donald Trump’s actions “constituted a serious violation [des] norms that deserve the highest possible sanction”.
Whether you’re in favor of the billionaire’s return or not, the election is sure to be divisive. Especially since Donald Trump accelerates his electoral campaign to run for a second presidential term, after the formalization of his candidacy in November.
It was also in November that he saw his Twitter account restored after a survey launched by Elon Musk on the platform. Despite this permission to return to the social network, Donald Trump had remained in his own microblogging application, launched after his expulsion from Twitter, Truth Social.
