 In January, Democratic lawmakers ask Meta not to reinstate Trump's account.

 Facebook owner Meta Inc is getting ready to say whether it will permit former US President Donald Trump to rejoin Facebook and Instagram. The market leader in social media earlier declared that it would decide by January 7 whether to permit the former president to return. However, that choice is now anticipated to be made public later this month, the newspaper reported, citing a source with knowledge of the situation.

 

People familiar with Meta's operations told the publication that the company has formed a working group to focus on the issue and that members of the group come from the content policy team, as well as the public policy and communications departments. The change comes after Elon Musk, Twitter's new owner, lifted a long-standing ban on Trump in November of last year after user polling.

Trump insisted that he had no desire to use Twitter again. When questioned by a panel at the annual leadership gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition whether he intended to return to Twitter, the former president had replied via video, "I don't see any need for it."

 

The likelihood of real-world violence persisting will be a crucial factor in determining whether Trump's account will be reinstated, according to Meta. False assertions about the results of elections, according to the company's head of global relations Nick Clegg, wouldn't always be taken into consideration when making a choice. At an event sponsored by the news outlet Semafor, Clegg stated, "It's not whether you utter the truth or not, it's if what you say or do incites violence and can be clearly linked to events in the actual world which threaten real-world harm." "Truth or falsehoods are not relevant here."

Trump will be subject to "escalating" sanctions, which may include a permanent ban if he is permitted to return to Meta's platforms and defies the rules once more, Meta warned last year.
