Suspendido pa rin sa Facebook Inc. ang dating pangulo ng United States na si Donald Trump hanggang sa January, 2023.
Unang sinuspinde ng Facebook si Trump noong naganap ang riot sa Capitol Hill nu’ng January 6, 2021 matapos sumugod ang kanyang mga tagasuporta.
Ayon sa Facebook noong Biyernes, 2 taon ang suspensiyon ni Trump at pag-aaralan pa nila ang pag-alis ng pagkaka-block ng dating pangulo sa naturang platform kung masisigurong masusunod ang public safety standards.
Pahayag pa ni Facebook Head of Global Affairs Nick Clegg, “Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols.”
Ayon din kay Clegg, kapag natapos na ang 2-year ban ni Trump, iimbestigahan pa rin nila ang mga aktibidad nito sa Facebook kung lalabag pa rin siya sa public safety rules.
Aniya, "If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded."
Maaari rin umanong tuluyan nang alisin ang social network ni Trump kapag nagpatuloy pa ang kanyang paglabag sa mga rules.
Saad pa ni Clegg, "We know today’s decision will be criticized by many people on opposing sides of the political divide.
"But, our job is to make a decision in as proportionate, fair and transparent a way as possible, in keeping with the instruction given to us by the Oversight Board."
