from its platforms, including Instagram, until at least January 2023.
Facebook’s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said that Trump’s actions on its social media networks "constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols."
The decision came after Facebook’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said last month that the social media giant was justified in removing Trump’s access from its platforms the day after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Facebook was then directed to review the suspension.
The two-year extension of Trump’s suspension is effective from the date of the initial ban on Jan. 7.
The former president called the ban "an insult" in a statement Friday. "They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country can’t take this abuse anymore!" he said in a statement.
