Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts have been reactivated

The profiles of former US President Donald Trump on the internet platforms Facebook and Instagram have been reactivated after about two years.

As of Thursday evening (local time), the Republican had not yet posted a new message to his profiles in the two networks. The Facebook group Meta announced two weeks ago that Trump could return to Facebook and Instagram.

Trump’s accounts on several major online platforms were blocked after his supporters stormed the seat of the US parliament in Washington in January 2021. At the time, he not only expressed his condolences to the rioters, but also incited the violent crowd with a speech.

Trump stays away from Twitter

Trump had previously used his online channels for months to spread the repeatedly refuted claim that he had been duped into a victory over Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. At the time, platform operators feared that Trump could lead to more violence if he turns his supporters on. kept turning on.

Meta’s independent regulator, which can scrutinize decisions about content and accounts, recently decided that there was no longer a risk to public safety as there was in January 2021.

In November, new Twitter owner Elon Musk had already unlocked Trump’s account with the short message service. However, the ex-president has not used it so far and is sticking with the Twitter copy he founded, Truth Social.
