Meta Removes All Restrictions On Trump’s Accounts After Trump Threatens To Imprison Mark Zuckerberg

Mediaite reports:

Meta on Friday said it would soon roll back restrictions it placed on former President Donald Trump’s Instagram and Facebook accounts. The company said it was making the change to ensure parity among presidential candidates leading up to the 2024 election.

Since being reinstated in January, 2023, Trump’s accounts have been subject to stricter penalties than other Meta users, including account suspensions and advertising restrictions, if he violated the company’s rules.

While Meta is doing away with stricter penalties on Trump’s account, it maintains its ability to limit the distribution of problematic posts for his or any accounts even if they don’t explicitly violate Meta’s rules — such as oblique references to QAnon.

Trump is committing another crime by illegally threatening people, including Mark Zuckerberg, with prison sentences for encouraging voter registration. This blatant threat violates election laws.
