The former president’s Facebook and Instagram profiles will be restored in the upcoming weeks. This was informed by a statement made on Wednesday by the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. Donald Trump: One of the biggest problems for Meta, a firm that aims to host and regulate human speech globally, is a single user. According to an announcement made on Wednesday by the parent company Meta Platforms Inc, the former president’s Facebook and Instagram profiles will be restored in the upcoming weeks. This will put the platforms to a very public and high-stakes test as he bids for office again next year.

Trump will face “heightened penalties for repeat offenses,” according to Meta’s director of global affairs, Nick Clegg, who announced on Wednesday. Trump is presently the only public figure in that category, though identical policies would apply to any prominent figure reinstated following civil disturbance.

As per the Meta’s policy, Trump won’t be subject to fact-checking

For publishing illegal information like hate speech and incitement to violence, Meta’s strike system will be raised for Trump to dissuade repeated violations. Most users can receive up to five strikes before a 30-day ban on using the sites, but the former president would only receive one before suffering that punishment. A second two-year penalty could be imposed for more serious offenses.

According to Meta’s policy for politicians, Trump won’t be subject to fact-checking because he’s already declared his presidential bid in 2024. However, according to Clegg, any of Trump’s posts that contribute to the type of unrest that preceded the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, “such as content that delegitimizes an upcoming election or is related to QAnon,” could be subject to restrictions on how widely they can be shared on Facebook and Instagram.

Two years ago, after a mob of Trump fans stormed the Capitol to prevent Congress from declaring his electoral defeat to Joe Biden, several social media networks disabled Trump’s accounts. At the time, Meta claimed that Trump’s posts encouraged violent behavior and endangered public safety.

The decision was brought before the Oversight Board of Meta, an unofficial body outside the corporate hierarchy funded by the firm and gives advisory opinions. The board supported the decision to suspend Trump’s accounts, but they felt the indefinite account freeze was arbitrary and needed to be looked at again.

The struggle of Facebook to provide effective content

Facebook has struggled for more than 10 years to provide effective content control and sanctions for violators. Republicans claim the platform is biased against those on the right, but internal business documents made public by a whistle-blower in 2021 showed that the corporation frequently violated its own rules without penalizing famous conservatives.

According to the company’s publicly available rules, Meta assigns strikes to user accounts for each post that transgresses community standards, resulting in an escalating length of the suspension. Most users will only receive a warning after one offense, whereas five offenses will result in a 30-day ban from posting or engaging with other content.

The community rules for Meta include sections on offenses like incitement to violence, fraud and deception, human exploitation, and hate speech. The majority of categories list examples of prohibited content, such as racial insults and ideas or words that are forbidden in that setting. The categories also cover the kinds of postings that need more context or information to evaluate.

Last year, Twitter Inc. removed the ex-ban president’s after Elon Musk, who acquired the service in October, asked his followers if they wanted to reinstate him. Trump has yet to tweet, but he keeps making posts on his own Truth Social website. It’s yet to be determined if or when Trump will use his recently recovered Instagram and Facebook accounts.
