Restrictions on Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram lifted

Meta has lifted the final restrictions on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the run up to US presidential elections in November.

The ex-US president and convicted felon’s accounts were suspended in 2021 after he praised supporters who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January.

Trump’s accounts, which combined have over 60 million followers, were re-instated in 2023 but subject to additional monitoring, which has now been removed, the social media giant said in a blog post.

Meta said it had a responsibility to allow political expression and that Americans should be able to hear from presidential nominees on an equal basis.

Why now? Idiots.

“All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump wrote. “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”

At the very least, even if Zuck isn’t the best example, it’s worth considering that the further conservatives descend into fascism, the more we’ll see people take the easier option of not resisting.

The amount of projection is incredible.

I hate to say it, but they’re right. They can’t silence one of the two candidates for the presidency.

I would say that staging a coup definitively breaks the TOS.

Imagine piping up to defend the non-existent “right” of a self declared fascist to spew his lies. 🤯

Careful not to choke on that boot…

The fact you think I support Trump or Facebook tells me all I need to know about the quality of the discourse in this thread. No wonder the left can’t get anything done in your shithole of a country.

Whether you like it or not, Canada is heavily dependent on said shithole of a country. You’re similarly as fucked as the rest of us if Trump wins and decides to stop protecting Canada or importing their natural resources in favor of domestic production.

    Not the best decision.

    pivot_root ,

    Sure it is–for profits. If Trump gets reelected, all those pesky government regulations about the environment and securities will be thrown out window.

    Socsa ,

    I’m sure this time he will respect the rules.

    I hope they know they should hide Mark Zuckerberg’s grave, because that thing is going to be so vandalized when he goes. Ill be the first to take a huge messy shit on it.

    Don’t deny future generations an opportunity. Mummify him and stick the mummy in a pillory.

    You’re assuming this country won’t be blown up before that time. I doubt any of us poors will live to see the day these assholes die. I’ve always wanted to watch trump have an aneurysm while at his Hitler esk rallies. Sadly that probably won’t happen.

    We won’t see it, but at least we will die with other people. They’re going out just like those billionaires on the Titanic sub - alone in a hostile environment, scared, banking stupidly on their own hubris instead of science.

    Hey, it is rude to shit in a urinal!

    solsangraal ,

    at this point, the people who STILL support trump are going to vote for him regardless. all this accomplishes is giving him another outlet to spew ridiculous bullshit that demonstrates his idiocy and/or incriminates himself

    ThinkBeforeYouPost ,

    Which allows him to mobilize and weaponize their idiocy. ¡No bueno muchachos!

    ralphio ,

    Yep his poll numbers went up after he was originally banned. Could be a coincidence, but it does make sense.

    And this is why I’m glad I quit using this shit website three years ago.

    Meta said fascists should have their voices heard. Zuck’s a coward, what a fucking surprise.

    mecfs , (edited )

    Trump recently threatened multiple times to jail zuck. I wouldn’t be suprised if that had an impact on this decision.

    E: though tbf it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he’s letting trump back on the platform because he wouldn’t mind him winning. After all, trump is good for billionaires, there’s no question about that…

    BossDj ,

    And if he loses, ban him again for saying something malicious and appear to be doing diligence

    so that’s what meta is short for

    A few days after trump threated to arrest zuck after the election? What a surprise

    That makes sense. It’s hard to foment an insurrection or race massacre when most of your loyal soldiers don’t use Truth Social.

    TachyonTele ,

    Also, it doesn’t make sense to give him tons of money ands then restrict him on your website at the same time too.

    That’s meta Being scared that Trump is going to win
