Facebook will reinstate Trump after two-year ban
all made the unprecedented decision to block the sitting U.S. president from their platforms at the time, after they determined doing so outweighed the risk of potential further incitement of violence. The platforms' bans varied in their degrees, however, with Twitter opting for a permanent ban and Facebook saying its suspension was temporary, eventually setting a timeline of two years before it reviewed the decision.
The suspensions came after a mob charged into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, as lawmakers worked to certify the election of President Joe Biden. Then-Vice President Mike Pence wasto a secure location by the Secret Service, recognizing the danger to him as he oversaw what's usually a routine procedure in Congress.
Though Trump at one point urged the mob to remain peaceful, he also stoked the lie that the election was "stolen from us," tweeting at one point during the day that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our Constitution," presumably by obstructing the election results that denied Trump a second term.
