Donald Trump may have his accounts reinstated on Facebook next year following a review of the company’s decision to suspend him, a top executive for parent Meta Platforms said on Thursday.

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs for Meta, said at an event in Washington, D.C. that the company would consult with experts and weigh the impact. Clegg made the comments at an event for Semafor, the upcoming media startup.

“When you make a decision that affects the public realm, you need to act with great caution. You shouldn’t throw your weight about,” Clegg told Semafor’s Steve Clemons.

Facebook banned Trump from the platform indefinitely following the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Facebook’s Oversight Board later said that it was “not appropriate” of the company to suspend Trump without a fixed time frame, and instructed Facebook to review the decision “and respond in a way that is clear and proportionate,” Clegg wrote at the time. Facebook then suspended Trump for a period of two years, lasting until Jan. 7, 2023. Beyond that date, Clegg wrote that Facebook would “evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest.”

8. How does THAT make you feel, Facebook users? (rhetorical question, only

Still, I think it is undeniably time to find another mechanism for sharing vacation videos with one's friends/family, but that's just my opinion.

Generational thing.

He continues to encourage violence.

13. Okay

Then they’ll have to let me back in after banning me for stuff I said about the orange buffoon.

What’s good for the goose is good to be slandered!
