restrictionsThe 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.
Neither of Trump's official accounts on Instagram or Facebook violated the company's policies during his restriction period, which meant his accounts never triggered those penalties.: Meta decided to roll back the restrictions to Trump's accounts amid concerns that a smaller policy violation could result in his account being suspended or limited leading up to the election, a spokesperson said.
