Billionaire Elon Musk’s decision to restore former US President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, about two years after it was blocked following the events on Capitol Hill, caused a great stir and the question – what will happen to Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. The Financial Times reported today (Sunday) that the Meta company may reinstate these accounts.
According to sources in the company, quoted in the report, the president of Meta and responsible for global issues in the company, Nick Clegg, is expected to make the decision in the coming month after organizing a team to consider the decision.
As I recall, the accounts were blocked following the attack on the Capitol, and this in light of the publications he published in them before the unusual event – which included inflammatory messages and various claims. Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg explained after the decision: “We did this out of the belief that the public has the full right to be exposed to political speeches, even if they differ in departments, but the current content published by the president is completely different. Trump incited his supporters to violence against a democratically elected government.” , wrote the founder of the social network.
