The Facebook Supervisory Committee , which audits SNS such as Facebook, supported the disposition that Mr. Trump's account was suspended, but criticized that the 'indefinite' criteria were not clear. For this reason, Meta has set a provisional deadline of two years . Looking back on this account suspension, Meta said, 'It was an abnormal decision in an abnormal situation,' and whether the abnormal situation continues after two years of evaluating 'risks to public safety.' I was planning to judge.

Mr. Trump has expressed his intention to run for the US presidential election in 2024, and Mr. Trump's campaign headquarters announced in January 2023, I think that it is greatly distorting and hindering,' and requested Meta to lift the account suspension. In response to this letter, it is also reported that two Democratic lawmakers have asked Meta to extend the suspension of the Facebook account.

After considering the 2022 midterm elections and the situation as of January 2023, including the evaluation of experts, Meta determined that the risk to public safety had receded sufficiently, and suspended the suspension for two years. Decided not to extend.



Meta said, 'We know that the decisions we make will be met with intense criticism. Reasonable people will be divided on whether it's the right decision. But we have to make decisions.' As such, we have tried to follow our values and the established process under the guidance of the Oversight Board to make decisions on disposition as much as possible.'

In response to Meta's announcement, Mr. Trump said on the SNS Truth Social , which he founded, ``Facebook, which has lost billions of dollars in value since I, everyone's favorite president, has been ``detached from nuclear power.'' We are pleased to announce that we are reviving our account.Thank you to the real community for doing such an incredible job.'
