Facebook has announced: Donald Trump's Facebook account will be blocked until January 7, 2023. In two years, Facebook will review the current situation and decide "whether there is a risk" in returning Trump to the platform, reported Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president of global affairs.
Factors to consider include "cases of violence, and civil unrest," they noted.
If Facebook decides that there is a risk in returning Trump to the platform, it may extend Trump's suspension.
"When the suspension is completely lifted, a Facebook team will review Trump's account, and if it is found to have violated the terms of the account, it may be permanently deleted," Clegg added.

In May, the Facebook Supervisory Committee ruled that "it is not appropriate to suspend Trump indefinitely, without criteria for when or if the account will be restored." So in effect, the commission decided that Facebook would complete a comprehensive investigation to determine if Trump could return to the platform. "The board insists that Facebook will review this matter to determine and justify a proportionate response that is consistent with the rules applicable to other users of its platform. Facebook must complete its review within six months.
The Supervisory Committee was set up in May last year and is made up of independent representatives from around the world, who will make final and binding decisions that will determine whether specific content will be allowed to appear on Facebook and Instagram or be removed, based on maintaining freedom of expression and human rights.
The council will be headed by 19 members, while later the committee will expand to 40 members in total.
One of the 19 members from over 27 countries is Amy Palmor, the former director general of the Ministry of Justice. “As someone who has been a public servant for 24 years, I have dedicated myself to promoting access to justice and putting the“ little citizen ”at the center.
"I joined Facebook's Content Control Board because I see it as a huge challenge, and an opportunity to implement the professional principles that have guided me over the years, for the benefit of citizens all over the world," Palmor said.
