Facebook suspends Donald Trump until January 2023 : Trump’s actions on Facebook during the US Capitol riot were a ‘severe violation of our rules’, the company says. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/4/facebook-suspends-donald-trump-until-january-2023
Trump quickly weighed in, slamming the decision in a statement: “Facebook’s ruling is an insult to the record-setting 75M people, plus many others, who voted for us in the 2020 Rigged Presidential Election.
“They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country can’t take this abuse anymore!”
The timing of Trump’s two-year suspension means he won’t be able to use his Facebook and Instagram accounts ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when Republicans will be competing for congressional seats, but may be able to return to those sites well before the next presidential election in 2024. https://news.yahoo.com/facebook-suspends-trumps-account-until-202509336.html

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis yesterday signed a bill into law to stop what he called the “censorship” of conservatives on social-media websites such as Twitter and Facebook.
