On Friday, the dominant social media giant, Facebook, sustained its suspension of Donald Trump’s Instagram and Facebook accounts for the incoming 2 years before it will review, on account of Trump’s praise for his supporters who involved in violence in the Capitol attack on 6 June.
The social media giant said that given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Donald Trump’s social media accounts suspension, they think his actions set a critical violation of their rules which merit a significant penalty available under the new enforcement protocols. He continued that they are blocking his accounts for 2 years, effective from the first suspension on 7 January this year.
Facebook to review Trump’s account after two years
Facebook described that at the end of this phase, they will review through their experts whether the danger to public safety went away.
The oversight board of the social media platform, Facebook, had previously slammed the unrestricted nature of FB’s postponement of the leaving president as a standardless and indeterminate penalty.

Moreover, the social media platform has considered the panel’s recommendations into account and decided that at the end of 2 years suspension period, the platform’s experts would observe occasions of violence, restrictions on peaceful meeting, and several other markers of civil unrest to decide if former president’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were still a risk to public safety.
Trump to face severe sanctions in case of violation
Besides this, Facebook said that Donald Trump would face critical sanctions in case if he again broke the platform’s rules and regulations.
The platform even described that it would give more information about its ‘newsworthiness allowance,’ where Facebook permits content that includes people’s interest even if it breaks FB guidelines and rules. Furthermore, it explained that it would evaluate whether the people’s interest worth of the content overshadows the potential threat of damage by leaving it up.
In response, former President Donald Trump released a statement regarding his account suspension by Facebook. He described that FB’s ruling is an insult to the record-breaking seventy-five million people and many others who voted for them in the Rigged Presidential Election of 2020. He continued that they should not be permitted to get away with this silencing, censoring and finally, we will win. He said that their country could not take this abuse anymore.
The platform’s announcement appeared when Donald Trump halted his blog page known as ‘From the Desk of Donald J. Trump.‘ Jason Miller, former President Donald Trump’s aide, said that the closure was a precursor to him connecting with another social media platform.
