Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is currently deciding whether to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s account on the social media platform as its initial suspension’s end date approaches.
“We’ve been very open. That temporary suspension is a two-year period through till early January,” Meta CEO Nick Clegg said, per The Hill. “We’ll look at all the signals that we should do about what we think may or may not affect the risks of real-world harm.” Should the company opt in favor of Trump’s return, he could be back on the platform by early January of 2023.
Clegg noted that the company was considering its options with a mind toward the outside impact of its decision.
“If you have this significant ability to take decisions which affect the public realm, as a public sector company you need to act with great caution, and resistance. You shouldn’t throw your weight about,” he asserted.
