Four months after the suspension of his account, Donald Trump is finally settled.
Facebook announced on Wednesday that the former US president could ultimately not post again on the social network.
Facebook banned the former US president from its platform the day after the invasion of Congress in January by a crowd of his supporters, during the certification of the victory of Joe Biden in the election of November 2020. The Californian group had until then tolerated many messages from the Republican billionaire deemed problematic by large sections of society, and even internally.
But on January 7, the network suspended "until further notice" the losing candidate for violating its rules on incitement to violence, including in a video where he expressed his support for the rioters.
At the end of January, Facebook then turned to its supervisory board to finally settle this case.

Other platforms took similar action after the Capitol invasion. YouTube waits until “the risk of violence decreases” before allowing the former president to re-post videos to his channel. Twitter - his former favorite network with nearly 89 million subscribers - suspended his account irrevocably, even though Jack Dorsey, the founder of the network, had lamented a "failure to promote healthy conversation." The former head of state has found refuge on the openly conservative and conspiratorial Gab network, where he is followed by 2 million people and continues to claim without evidence that the election was rigged.
