Facebook and Instagram ban Trump (again)

Facebook and Instagram will suspend former US President Donald Trump’s accounts for another two years

Facebook and Instagram barred the former US President Donald Trump for two years following the Capitol Riots.

The social media giant said Trump’s actions were “a severe violation of our rules”.

Trump said the move was “an insult” to the millions who voted for him in last year’s presidential election.

“They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our country can’t take this abuse anymore!” Trump said.

The social media giant is also ending a policy that shields politicians from some content moderation rules, saying it would no longer give politicians immunity for deceptive or abusive content.

Trump has also been banned from Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, Twitch and other social media platforms over the January riot.
