New: Facebook Suspends President Trump for Two Years or Longer
Facebook announced Friday it is suspending President Trump for a minimum of two years until January 7, 2023 and will condition reinstatement on experts’ opinions on whether Trump being on Facebook and sister properties including Instagram poses a “serious risk to public safety.”
