Why Facebook has banned Donald Trump for at least two years

Published on Jun 05, 2021 11:27 am IST

Facebook has banned former US President Donald Trump for two years citing “gravity of the circumstances” and announced changes to how it will treat rule-breaking world leaders in the future. Trump’s Facebook account will now remain suspended till January 7, 2023. Explaining the decision in a blog, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg said that the two year sanction against Trump was “long enough to allow a safe period of time after the acts of incitement” and a “significant enough deterrent to Mr. Trump and others from committing such severe violations in future.” Watch the full video for more.
