The accounts of Trump in Facebook and Instagram (owned by the company) remain closed since assault on the Capitol last January 6 by thousands of supporters of former president , some of them armed, which resulted in five deaths.
Since the day after the invasion of the National Congress by Then-President Trump’s social media tabs have been silent , especially his favorite, Twitter, when accused of inciting violence using the platforms as online megaphones.
His account was originally suspended for allegedly inciting the violence that led to the deadly
January 6 at the Capitol. But while he held the suspension, the Almost independent Supervisory Board of the social network voted in favor of maintaining its ban on the platform but not without first blaming Facebook for the way it made that decision.
“The board criticized the indefinite nature of the suspension, stating that ‘no it was appropriate that Facebook impose the indeterminate penalty and without standard ares of indefinite suspension ‘. (Therefore) The board instructed us to review the decision and respond in a clear and proportionate manner, and made a series of recommendations on how to improve our policies and processes, “he said in the statement.
“We announce new application protocols that will be applied in exceptional cases like this, and we confirm the sanction for a period in accordance with the protocols that we are applying to the accounts of Mister Trump . Given the seriousness of the circumstances that led to the suspension of Mr. Trump of application. We will suspend your accounts for two years, from the date of the initial suspension on January 7 of this year “, detailed Facebook in the message to the media.
At the end of the mentioned period, Facebook announced that it will seek experts to reassess whether the public safety risk to the State United has declined and said it will assess external factors, including cases of violence, restrictions on peaceful assemblies and other indicators of unrest civilians and if they determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, they will extend the restriction for a specified period of time and will continue to reassess until that risk has decreased and only then will be the way they count it to of Trump is reactivated.
