The heightened penalties facing Trump\u2019s accounts were imposed in 2023 after Meta lifted the two-year ban on Trump. Meta first suspended Trump\u2019s accounts on Jan. 7, 2021, following his praise and encouragement of rioters who stormed the Capitol in an attack that left several dead. The company then extended the suspension for two years \u2014 which was lifted last year.<\/p>\n
Once Trump\u2019s suspension was lifted, Meta said Trump and any other leaders whose accounts were reinstated after a suspension would face harsher penalties if they broke the company\u2019s rules again. For instance, the company said that most new violations would trigger a one-month restriction from posting, and could for more serious violation merit another 2-year restriction.<\/p>\n
The company also introduced a range of other potential consequences for politicians that who post things that don\u2019t break its content rules but still pose a risk. The company said it could still limit the distribution of those posts, restrict a leader\u2019s access to its advertising tools, remove the reshare button from contentious posts or stop them from being recommended.<\/p>\n
Meta said Friday the company has not had to impose any more punishments against Trump\u2019s accounts since they were reinstated. Meta added that both Biden and Trump would still be subject to the company\u2019s rules against spreading hate speech or inciting violence.<\/p>\n
Trump has been sharing fewer posts on Twitter, Facebook or YouTube during this election than he had previously, preferring to post his most controversial rhetoric on his own social network, Truth Social. Though he still posts videos of his rallies and some criticism of President Biden on Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
