Meta Ends Restrictions on Trump’s Facebook and Instagram Accounts

The social media giant lifts heightened penalties ahead of the 2024 presidential election, ensuring equal footing for all candidates.

Trump's accounts were initially suspended after the January 6 Capitol riot and reinstated in early 2023 with additional monitoring.
Meta's decision removes the heightened suspension penalties that could have led to bans of up to two years for violations.
Both Trump and Biden will now be subject to the same community standards as all other users on Meta's platforms.
The move comes just days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is expected to be formally nominated.
Trump has primarily used his own platform, Truth Social, but his Meta accounts have significant followings.
