Former US president lost access to the profile after publishing, without evidence, allegations of fraud in the elections on the day of the invasion of the Capitol. Former President of the United States Donald Trump during the announcement that he will run for president in 2024. Reuters Meta has reactivated the Facebook and Instagram accounts of former President of the United States Donald Trump, two years after he was suspended due to the hacking of the Capitol (the nation’s congressional building), on January 6, 2021. The company announced last month that it would reinstate Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. This Thursday (9), the politician’s accounts can now be accessed on both social networks. The accounts were reactivated with a warning from the platform that another violation by Trump will lead to a new suspension, with a period of one month to two years. In November 2022, Elon Musk reactivated Trump’s account after a favorable poll result. However, the former president snubbed access and said he saw no sense in returning to the platform. The return to the main social networks has an important weight for Trump, who will run for the US presidency in 2024.
