Meta is considering whether to allow former President Trump back onto its platforms and will announce a decision in coming weeks, a spokesperson says.

Facebook’s parent company Meta is considering whether to allow former President Donald Trump back on to its platforms and is due to announce its decision in the coming weeks, a company spokesperson told CNN on Monday. The decision, likely to be one of the most consequential in the company’s history, is being considered by a specially formed internal company working group made up of leaders from different parts of the organization, a person familiar with the deliberations told CNN.

In a blog post in June 2021, Clegg explained how the company would consider allowing Trump back on its platforms. “If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded,” Clegg wrote. If Trump’s accounts are restored, he could once again have them revoked if he breaks the platforms’ rules, Clegg warned.

Keep him off!! He is nothing but a troublemaker if he isn’t getting his way.

I am telling you.. as a part of the highest Population on this Planet ..don't....it is COMMON KNOWLEDGE ..he Considers Women exists only as a plaything for men! Woman is now aware of their POWER ..so proceed with the UTMOST CAUTION!!.My advise DON'T!

For what? He is evil chaos hate look what he did to our country

It's irrelevant though, since it is a declining platform

Irish shadow will change his mind!!

Oh sure, Let the criminal minded insurrection plotting, inciter to violence have another swing at it If you allow sociopathic terrorists to voice their propaganda and opinion freely on social media, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN? Where has the world's common sense gone

Woke-cultists melting down in 3, 2, 1 😂

Is as revenue that low? They shouldn’t be advertising Chinese knock-offs and snake oils and they’d be fine.

Lol- who does FB think they are … over it, over them

Stunning and brave

Why wouldn't they?! The pure Liberal audacity to assume he should be banned for having an opinion different than theirs. Meta can go suck AD.

Who cares? I’m sure Trump doesn’t.

PrinceHarry needs to move on if he wants “privacy”. Everyone has familial trauma to some degree; we just don’t turn it into a cash cow!

Damage control

He should be banned as he is the sole reason the US is so divided and racist because of his spewing of proven lies!

A big mistake

Meta is in huge trouble, they built their HQ in Menlo Park on several toxic waste sites and a nuclear accident site and failed to inform their employees of the danger. The liability will criple them and they knew it from the start, the state told them when they bought it.

No!

Won't last two seconds with how frivolous Facebook bans people

In other words...'we want to see which way the wind is blowing with Trump and how many supporters he and 'Q' still have'.

Is there internet access in jail?

S1m00ntje We find Trump. Anyway..

You’d be stupid to do so. That man belongs in jail or 20 ft under.

when you say META is considering this, do you mean the hundreds of CIA and FBI working at META are considering this? Can anyone believe a story from CNN, I can't.

Suckerberg is a good little puppet for the administration.

Noooooooooo

The Point Of Social Networks Are To Network Are They Not!?🤷

It's all about money. Bullshit sells!

CNN never meta lie about Trump they wouldn’t put on the air.

My guess is that Trump does not care. I deleted my Facebook account, BTW. Everyone should.

No Meta why would you the mans a menace

There’s literally thousands of scammers stealing from the elderly and naive on social media from orchestrated networks. Untold millions ripped from innocent people. The FBI isn’t arresting them. Anyway trump bad right? Right?

Sure. Let him back on at his most deranged and desperate prior to indictment. Facebook needs to be put out of business.

Nothing to do with poor user interaction and falling revenues.....

Of course not

We left Facebook after elonmusk bought Twitter. Trump going back to Facebook is like eating his own vomit 🤮

No, Meta should not allow Traitor Trump back onto anynof it's social media platforms. Hell, Meta should be sued for allowing two months worth of seditious conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. Government, by Traitor Trump and others on it's platforms.

Fake news

Too late. Everyone knows now that Meta is no different from Twitter 1.0

Hopefully Trump never goes back and Facebook continues its fall

People still use Facebook?

I thought Trump was banned by Zuck from Facebook, not whatever this 'Meta' garbage is.

Meta look at the lunacy he posts and how in last 24 hours he yet again slandered a poll worker endangering her life. Don’t open that door on your platform

Allow, lol

Ratings are down huh

Don´t let the loser back in just yet! Wait till he goes to jail.

Lol. Meta thinks he will bring his millions if followers back so that they facebook can increase their revenue from advertising since it and their stock prices have plumm

Zuckerberg should cooperate with Musk for free speech and democracy world wide...

I gave up Meta (Facebook) years ago. That platform is 💩.

I think elonmusk and Twitter has set the example for freedom of speech and not the cancel culture the rest of the social media platforms run

How much money did you take from the fbi and Biden to surprise the lap top story? You should be proud n jail for interfering in a election!

Oh, so they've agreed to allow him back. Whatever.

Damage has been done, cancel culture is responsible for silencing, and unseating a terrific sitting President. That’s a large part of their history now.

We've seen how that worked for Twitter, they lost 80% of their advertisers.

Dont bother. The election was already stolen. So much fake news and lies have been told. Why would he want to subject himself to trolls. Insults and censoring again? I think he will do fine with the media he has.

It shouldn't be a 'meta' decision. Its called a first amendment right - thats how messed up this country is

L

People still use Facebook?

The fact this story even has to be said or run is deeply concerning ..allow a President on a social media ? Smh.. ashamed of our Country and what it's become ... FB employees should be in jail and some on death row

Hell no, he is too disruptive.

elonmusk say something

Meta is a dying company.

He needs to admit that widespread voter fraud is a big lie first.

🤣🤣 that is going to happen easy, especially after today. Wake up US, the dividing has begun! 🤣😅

They allow Antifa on Instagram, they talk about bringing back assassinating Presidents.

Who gives a flying F**k what commie Facebook wants🤷🏻‍♂️ They removed a standing president of the USA for nothing, and interfered in an election which is treason. Facebook should be shutdown and sold off to buyers who can confirm they are not commie’s. Oh and CNN is commie as well 🙄

first, he has his social network. second, he just goes back to twitter, he doesn't have to worry about these crazies anymore, Elon is in charge here, nothing will get to him😎

Mark Zuckerberg is More Evil and Sinister Than Trump and you'll start to see how true that is once the Monopoly is Dismantled

Let's hope not.

Why the hell would he want to go back to that cess pool facebook

Meta Facebook is so 2019. Bye

Don’t allow the republican scum back

Let say that Facebook seems still biased. Maybe still FBI and WH intervention

MehdiMohammadiFard, an 18 y/o from Sari was arrested on Sep30. He's been accused of Muharebe and Corruption on earth and is sentenced with double execution. They tortured him so he confessed to burning an officer's Kiosk. His life's in danger. IranRevolution

Dragging feet, they would’ve just done it already. PR probably wants to measure public sentiment to see how they can frame this to look better than Twitter. wokeoptics

What was the reason for not allowing him? Does that still exists? MahsaAmini MohammadBoroughani

If they do I’m boycotting the old lady across the street because she uses Facebook

Bring back the Don

who's meta?

... please join 'TRUTH SOCIAL'.

God, WHY?

What is Meta?

Trump does not give a shit about Facebook and nobody gives a shit about it either. That’s why all engagements are done on Twitter

Dictator Zuckerberg

No one uses facebook

Don’t do it.

What ever you do Trump will become a president again

กลับมาเยี่ยมพ่อบ้างน่ะลูก

Who cares. META and are irrelevant.

Nobody cares. Nothing ever happens there other than cat pictures and grandchildren.

Meta meta died like 5 years ago. Only people on it are people above 50 years old.

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not… Are they having a meeting at the treehouse. Aiden “Should we let Trump back” Ava “No he hurt my feelings” Chris “Me too” Emma “Yeah… but this should be a public treehouse because everyone comes here”

I don't think he'll want to go back on. I know I dont. The government censorship and the lies, and the Chinese communist censorship programmers Facebook hired were all very dusturbing.

The idea of banning, then Later allow them to return is ONE of most Shameful thing someone will do if return. JUST UNINSTALL THE APP. As the correct way to hand this BAN. Facebook

No please!! 👎👎

It is also through social media that realDonaldTrump commits crimes. Let him back. He will further incriminate himself.

This is HassanFirouzi, a 34-year-old new dad of a newborn baby girl. He is currently in solitary confinement and pictures have surfaced proving he is being brutally tortured. He is reportedly suffering from internal bleeding. He is sentenced to death. IranRevolution

MehdiMohammadiFard, an 18 y/o from Sari was arrested on Sep.30. He's been accused of Muharebe and Corruption on earth and is sentenced with double execution. They tortured him so he confessed to burning an officer's Kiosk. His life's in danger. IranRevolution

MohammadBorooghani. he's charged with 'waging war against god'. Mohammad_Borooghani is sentenced to death and faces the execution of his sentence. He is accused of having set fire to the prefecture of the city of Pakdasht and of having injured a state agent. محمد_بروغنی

18 yo MehdiMohammadifard has been sentenced to death twice simply for protesting. The IR may execute him any day. Protesters in the IR prisons are being tortured and executed and West is still not listing the IRGC as terrorists. IranRevolution MahsaAmini

Zuckerberg is a twatt

Conservatives still crying about censorship?

Hey what could go wrong? 😬😬

The former president will Not be using Facebook same as he is doing with twitter.
