Meta’s leadership say the risk has ‘sufficiently receded’, as the former US president has the ban on his accounts lifted for the first time in two years
on restricting accounts that violate the guidelines on Facebook or Instagram, with special rules for public figures during times of civil unrest.
But public figures will have stronger controls. This includes government officials, political candidates, and people with over a million followers. The types of violations could include inciting or celebrating ongoing violence or civil unrest. Other action might be more mild. Clegg said if, for instance, Trump references QAnon content, the distribution of that content would be limited, and Meta would restrict his ability to advertise.platforms after the US Capitol riots on 6 January 2021. Despite the escalating violence on the day, Trump persisted in posting unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election had been stolen, and praised the violent protesters at the attempted insurrection.
Oversight board – a body designed to make final decisions on Facebook’s moderation activity at arm’s length from Meta management.the final decision on whether Trump be readmitted should be decided by Meta.
