Meta reinstates Trump on Instagram and Facebook ahead of 2024 election

Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg wrote in a blog post that the former president will face “heightened penalties” if he breaks the social media giant’s content rules.

The Washington Post
Been two whole years since the last American insurrection attempt, surely there's no risk it happens again

Ending Suspension of Trump’s Accounts With New Guardrails to Deter Repeat Offenses | Meta

We'll be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.

@drewharwell My hand stopped hurting so I’m gonna touch the stove again
@drewharwell Just in time to offer the Trumpies new tools before his upcoming gerrymandered coup attempt!
@drewharwell Facebook is far more confident than I am that Trump would accept a 2024 defeat
@drewharwell especially since I’m pretty sure on Truth Trump WAS challenging the validity of the 2022 results
@drewharwell this is what Facebook thinks is reformed
@BennettTomlin @drewharwell “Rigged & Stollen” is going to be the name for my new artisan German bakery
@drewharwell As Susan Collins would say “I’m sure he’s learned his lesson” 😖

@drewharwell

infuriating How long since they checked for cranio-rectal inversion?

@drewharwell Weird how deplatforming trump lead to an environment where there the “security environment” was less turbulent than it was in early 2021.

Better let him back on.

@drewharwell

I smell...*snifffff* White Nonsense.

@drewharwell They are full of it. My question is how to we hold them to their promises?
@drewharwell
I think the contrite and heartfelt apology from Trump reassured everyone 🤔

@drewharwell I read all the "guardrails" & policies. Are there any commitments from Facebook that they will apply the guidelines if there are violations?

What happens if they don't?
Who will enforce a failure to enforce them?

Einschränkungen für Konten von Personen des öffentlichen Lebens bei Unruhen | Transparency Center

Meta veröffentlicht regelmäßig Berichte, um unsere Community über die Durchsetzung von Gemeinschaftsstandards, Regierungsanfragen und Internetunterbrechungen zu informieren.

@drewharwell FB's weak sanctions.
"For content that does not violate our Community Standards but that contributes to the sort of risk that led to the public figure’s initial suspension, we may limit the distribution of such posts, and for repeated instances, may temporarily restrict access to our advertising tools.
This step would mean that content would remain visible on the public figure’s account but would not be distributed in people's Feeds, even if they follow that public figure."
@drewharwell new guardrails. No new limitations on speed limits, engines, or drivers. Same old road too. Just new guardrails. Same as the old guardrails. But polished.

@drewharwell
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, its not like there have been any other insurrection attacks on a nations capital since 2021.

And if there were, it's not like those coup leaders have any direct linkages to Trump and his supporters.

@drewharwell @NaomiNix I'm not quite ready to leave Instagram (the larger trainwreck at Twitter made leaving easier when t***p's account was restored there) but I will mute/block/report without a second thought.
@smartwatermelon @drewharwell @NaomiNix
This   includes FB friends that decide to retweet him.
@Lynda yes. I don't use FB but I will excise any trace that appears in my Insta feed.
@smartwatermelon
Yep. Opposite 😄
I’m rarely on Insta but will do the same.
@drewharwell @NaomiNix Of course! Destroying democracy makes a lot of money for them.
@drewharwell @NaomiNix makes me glad I'm on their very seldom
@Danesworldllc @drewharwell @NaomiNix
Same. I only go there for the Marketplace
@NaomiNix @drewharwell nope & people will post about every single thing he puts up
@drewharwell @NaomiNix I know he's been doing that struggle-fist-thing for decades but it's so pathetic for someone who has literally experienced zero headwind in his life. 👊🏻
@drewharwell @NaomiNix *Are* there any rules this time?
@drewharwell @NaomiNix Meta is hoping that he will exclusively announce the next insurrection on one of its platforms.
@drewharwell @NaomiNix will be interesting if Trump starts posting on Facebook and instagram, but continues to ignore Twitter..

@richardknott @drewharwell @NaomiNix hadn't considered that angle...

I wonder if the number of bot accounts will increase on both platforms?

@drewharwell @NaomiNix BHut those who posted this meme are still banned...
@drewharwell @NaomiNix this is utterly fucking insane. I hate this country.
@drewharwell @NaomiNix I hope he rallies back leads the GOP right into the election and buries in a Democratic landslide victory
@drewharwell @NaomiNix 5 years of exhaustion with an insurrection crescendo at the end? No thanks. Thinking that FB will rein him in if he threatens to rinse and repeat is nothing but a wet dream.
