Facebook has recently lifted the restrictions imposed on former President Donald Trump following the January 6 attack on the Capitol, allowing him to resume posting on the platform. This decision places Trump on an equal footing with President Joe Biden just days before the Republican National Convention.
Initially banned from using Facebook's platforms in 2021 after his supporters stormed the Capitol, Trump was later subject to certain restrictions when the ban was lifted by Meta, Facebook's parent company. These restrictions included 'heightened suspension penalties' if his posts violated the platform's standards.
