Trump will remain off Facebook for at least two years [View all]

Source: Politico

Facebook announced Friday that former President Donald Trump's account will remain suspended for at least two years, setting a timetable for his potential return after its oversight board criticized the company's indefinite ban.

"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols," Facebook's vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg said in a blog post. "We are suspending his accounts for two years, effective from the date of the initial suspension on January 7 this year."

The ban: Facebook first suspended Trump's account in the wake of his posts during the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol, saying his further presence on the platform risked inciting more violence.
