Former President Donald Trump's Facebook ban may finally be lifted after two years. CBS News reported Friday that Meta is considering allowing Trump to return to the platform. He was originally suspended after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol Hill Riot. At the time, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Trump provoked “violence,” when the former president actually told his supporters to “stay peaceful.” Facebook’s Oversight Board upheld the ban in May 2021.
Trump stated on his platform Truth Social a day before the CBS News report that "[m]aybe [Meta’s] first step should be to get away from the ridiculous change in name to Meta, and go back to 'Facebook.’” He continued: "Whoever made that decision, and the decision to take me off, will go down in the Business Hall of Fame for two of the worst decisions in Business History!’"
Facebook executives have hinted at reinstating Trump in the past. Last year, Facebook Global Affairs President Nick Clegg said that the platform might allow Trump back on the platform when the ban expires. “When you make a decision that affects the public realm, you need to act with great caution,” he said.
