Meta Platforms Inc. has restored former US President Donald Trump’s access to Facebook and Instagram, Meta spokesman Andy Stone confirmed on Wednesday, following a two-year suspension after the Capitol Hill riots that ended on January 6, 2021.
Meta in January said he would lift Trump’s suspension “in the coming weeks” and would introduce increased penalties of suspension between one month and two years if the former president violates his content regulations again.
Trump now also has access to important platforms for voter information and political fundraising before another run for the White House in 2024. He has 23 million followers on Instagram and 34 million on Facebook as of January.
