The Meta group must decide in January on a return of Donald Trump to its Facebook and Instagram platforms. The former President of the United States has been banned from these networks since January 2021.
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, following the invasion of the Capitol. The businessman had received a suspension of his accounts for two years. The sanction must therefore come to an end on January 4, 2023.
According to FinancialTimes, the deadline should not be met. The decision on whether or not to pardon Donald Trump must be made during the month of January. The case will be studied and decided by Nick Clegg, head of international affairs and communications at Facebook.
The “highest possible sanction”
Former British Deputy Prime Minister, it was this person who confirmed the suspension of the accounts of the former American president in June 2021. Nick Clegg then assured that Donald Trump’s actions “constituted a severe violation [des] rules that deserve the highest possible sanction”.
Whether she is in favor of a return of the billionaire or not, the choice is sure to be divisive. Especially since Donald Trump is accelerating 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 poll launched by Elon Musk on the platform. Despite this permission to return to the social network, Donald Trump had remained on his own micro-blogging application, launched following his ouster from Twitter, Truth Social.
