Meta has lifted the final restrictions on Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the run up to US presidential elections in November.

The ex-US president and convicted felon’s accounts were suspended in 2021 after he praised supporters who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January.

Trump’s accounts, which combined have over 60 million followers, were re-instated in 2023 but subject to additional monitoring, which has now been removed, the social media giant said in a blog post.

Meta said it had a responsibility to allow political expression and that Americans should be able to hear from presidential nominees on an equal basis.

Imagine piping up to defend the non-existent "right" of a self declared fascist to spew his lies. 🤯

Careful not to choke on that boot...

    The fact you think I support Trump or Facebook tells me all I need to know about the quality of the discourse in this thread. No wonder the left can't get anything done in your shithole of a country.

    Whether you like it or not, Canada is heavily dependent on said shithole of a country. You're similarly as fucked as the rest of us if Trump wins and decides to stop protecting Canada or importing their natural resources in favor of domestic production.
