Publishing timestamp: 2023-01-25 18:27:51
Summary
Meta announced that former President Donald Trump will be allowed to return to Facebook and Instagram in the coming weeks, two years after his suspension was enacted following the 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The decision was made based on the risk of potential further incitement to violence and the need for public debate in democratic societies. If Trump violates Meta's community guidelines again, he will be subject to heightened penalties.
