Meta to roll back some restrictions on Trump's Facebook, Instagram accounts

Meta has announced that it will lift some of the restrictions on former US President Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts. The social media company had suspended Trump's accounts indefinitely after he praised the individuals who stormed the US Capitol in January 2021. However, Trump's accounts were reinstated earlier this year with increased monitoring for potential violations. Meta has now stated that as Trump is running against President Joe Biden, he will no longer be subject to this additional monitoring. Social media experts have criticized Meta for failing to moderate political content in the past. Trump was also banned from Twitter in 2021 but had his account restored by Elon Musk after he acquired the company in 2022.
