As soon as he's back.

It will free up space on my phone.
I'll be back when he's dead, maybe. Maybe not.

2. FB says they have guardrails that will keep him from causing chaos or violence but I do not believe

that will keep him from causing chaos or violence but I do not believe them. They, like all corporations, will do whatever it takes to grow revenue.

The only answer is to pass regulation much like the EU did for social media.

They are hedging bets if he wins in 2024. They don't want to be on the receiving end of his wrath.

7. Don't understand them openly allowing him to continue his destructive 2020 election lies

while stating that they won't let him do same thing for 2024. Makes no sense when damaging repercussions of his false election claims of 2020 are still ongoing and will affect 2024 too.
