TechFlow news, according to CNBC, as the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, Meta said Friday it will lift any penalties and restrictions previously imposed on former President Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts.
The company first took action against Trump's social media accounts in 2021, shortly after the January 6 riot in Washington, D.C. At that time, Meta determined that some of Trump's conduct posed potential risks of inciting violence, leading to a two-year suspension of his accounts. In January 2023, Meta announced it would restore Trump's presence on its platforms, and he regained access to his accounts the following month. However, Trump remained subject to certain residual penalties and restrictions that could have led to a long-term ban on his social media accounts.
