On Wednesday, Meta announced that President Donald Trump will be allowed back on Instagram and Facebook after a 2-year-long ban. However, there will be “new guardrails” in place so the social media companies can maintain some control over Trump’s posts.
In a statement, Nick Clegg, Meta’s President for Global Affairs, announced the reactivation of Trump’s accounts.
“Social media is rooted in the belief that open debate and the free flow of ideas are important values, especially at a time when they are under threat in many places around the world,” began Clegg’s statement. “As a general rule, we don’t want to get in the way of open, public and democratic debate on Meta’s platforms – especially in the context of elections in democratic societies like the United States.”
