The Financial Times reported on Sunday that the company that owns Facebook, Meta Inc., is getting ready to say whether or not it will allow former US President Donald Trump to rejoin Instagram and Facebook.
The giant of social media had previously stated that by January 7, it would decide whether or not to allow the former president to return. According to a source familiar with the situation, the newspaper stated that that decision is now anticipated to be made later in the month.
According to those who are familiar with Meta’s operations, the company has established a working group to address the issue. The report also stated that the group includes staff members from the content policy team as well as the public policy and communications teams.
Reuters inquired for additional information, but Meta did not immediately respond.
The new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, polled users before lifting a permanent ban on Trump in November of last year. This new development follows suit.
Trump maintained that he would not take to Twitter again.
When asked by a panel at the annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition whether he planned to return to Twitter, the former president responded via video, “I don’t see any reason for it.”
Since his defeat in the 2020 election, Trump has relentlessly attacked the integrity of voting in the United States. In November, he also launched a bid to regain the presidency in 2024 with the intention of avoiding potential Republican rivals.
