Trump Suspended From Facebook For 2 Years
Notice they are suspending him past the '22 elections.
Facebook has extended former President Donald Trump's suspension for two years and says it will only reinstate him "if the risk to public safety has receded."
The decision comes after Facebook's Oversight Board told the company it was wrong to impose an indefinite ban on Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Facebook says it is setting new rules "to be applied in exceptional cases such as this." Trump has received the maximum penalty under those rules. His Facebook and Instagram accounts will be suspended until at least Jan. 7, 2023.
At that point, Facebook will consult experts and "evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest," said Nick Clegg, vice president of global affairs, in a statement.

Whatever happened to "I totally disagree with what you are saying. And I'll defend to my death your right to say it."

And they are indulging in editorial control, which should subject them to the same restrictions news outlets are forced to live under.
T.R., Where are you now?
