VIVA – After asking to be allowed to use Facebook and Instagram some time ago, finally, Meta Platforms Inc will allow former President Donald Trump to back on Facebook and Instagram in the coming weeks. It is known, Meta banned him for inciting violence when his supporters stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Meta's Director of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg in a post on Meta Platforms' official blog, Thursday, admitted that restoring Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts was a decision made based on input from their independent supervisory board.

After that, Meta's Board of Trustees supported the action of suspending Donald Trump's account, however, they also criticized the platform for not providing clear rules for when suspended accounts could be restored.

The "serious risk to public safety" that led Meta to suspend Trump in January 2021 "has sufficiently receded," Clegg wrote in a blog post.

Still, he said, Trump would face "heightened penalties" should he continue to break Meta's rules, including removal of his posts and even a fresh two-year suspension.

"The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying the good, the bad, and the ugly so that they can make informed choices at the ballot box. But that does not mean there are no limits to what people can say on our platform," Clegg stated.

If Trump violates the rules again after the account is reinstated, Meta commits to removing the content and again suspending the account for one month to two years depending on the severity of the violation.

“We know that any decision we make on this issue will be fiercely criticized. Reasonable people will disagree over whether it is the right decision. But a decision had to be made, so we have tried to make it as best we can in a way that is consistent with our values and the process we established in response to the Oversight Board’s guidance.” Clegg wrote.

As information, platforms like Facebook and Twitter earlier removed or labeled certain posts by the former president that they believed to be harmful before ultimately choosing to block his account.

On the evening of January 6, 2021, Facebook said that “two policy violations” on Trump’s page would trigger a 24-hour block on its platforms. The next day, the company said in a statement that it felt “the risks of allowing President Trump to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” and said the ban would last “for at least the next two weeks,” through the inauguration.
