Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has decided to lift the restrictions previously placed on former President Donald Trump's accounts, allowing him full access once again.
This move comes after Trump's accounts were suspended in the wake of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, citing violations of company policies aimed at preventing further unrest. The decision to reinstate Trump has been met with criticism from various quarters, including the Biden campaign, which labeled it a 'greedy, reckless decision.' Meta defends its action by stating that the public should have the opportunity to hear from all presidential candidates equally.
The company has indicated that while Trump's accounts are reinstated, heightened penalties will be applied for any future policy violations.
