Other social media companies, including Youtube, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram, owned by Facebook\u2019s parent company Meta, followed suit and suspended Trump\u2019s accounts almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, later placed an indefinite ban on Trump\u2019s account on January 7, saying that \u201cthe risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ivy Choi, a spokeswoman for YouTube, told <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/technology-social-media-donald-trump-government-and-politics-67e9831bc2a70f5e5ae6f8aa46e25ae1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a> the video-sharing platform also has no plans to remove the suspension on Trump\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<p>Heidi Beirich, the founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and a member of the Real Facebook Oversight Board, told The Associated Press that social media companies would be justified to extend such restrictions or permanently ban Trump on their platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe big problem is treating candidates as if they\u2019re in a special category and deserve special treatment,\u201d Beirich said. \u201cIf you have a set of rules, it should apply to everyone. The decision shouldn\u2019t be a struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The oversight board told Facebook to set a time limit on the ban, which is set to expire on January 7, 2023 \u2014 two years after the initial suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking over Twitter last month, Elon Musk has yet to announce if he would reinstate Trump\u2019s account. Musk has previously said that he disagreed with the platform\u2019s decision to suspend Trump on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, however, still manages to get his message out to the public despite big tech\u2019s push to censor him \u2014 whether it\u2019s through his own social media platform Truth Social or other accounts sharing his statements.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said on Truth Social on October 28 that his social media platform \u201clooks and works better,\u201d adding he was \u201cvery happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by the Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter must now work hard to rid itself of bots and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly,\u201d Trump said in the post. \u201cIt will be much smaller, but better. I LOVE TRUTH!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s fate on social media follows Meta officials announcing they would no longer fact-check the former U.S. president now that he\u2019s officially running for office again.<\/p>\n<p>According to a memo from Meta\u2019s \u201cnews integrity partnership\u201d team obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/11\/15\/politics\/facebook-fact-check-donald-trump\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>, the announcement was sent out hours before Trump made his presidential bid on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The directive would help those \u201cseeking guidance regarding fact-checking political speech,\u201d which notes such speech is ineligible for fact-checking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis includes the words a politician says as well as photo, video, or other content that is clearly labeled as created by the politician or their campaign,\u201d the memo reportedly stated.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Stone, a Meta spokesperson, told CNN the memo was \u201ca reiteration of our long-standing policy [and] should not be news to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, an investigative report from The Intercept revealed hundreds of internal documents exposing top U.S. government agencies worked closely with social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor American freedom of speech \u2014 under the guise of fighting disinformation \u2014 over several years.<\/p>\n<p>The report showed a \u201cvery cozy\u201d relationship between government alphabet agencies like the FBI and DHS and tech giants, including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media, where they held monthly meetings \u2014 as recently as August \u2014 and exchanged emails and texts to shape online discourse.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from Twitter denied the allegations in a statement to The Intercept, saying the platform \u201c[does] not coordinate with other entities when making content moderation decisions,\u201d adding officials \u201cindependently evaluate content in line with the Twitter Rules.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook officials said Wednesday that the social media platform has no plans to reinstate the account of former President Donald Trump, despite announcing his bid earlier this week for a second term in the White House in 2024.
