Some Democrats have criticized Meta after the social media giant announced that it would reinstate former President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts after a two-year ban.

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs for Meta, said in a blog post on Jan. 25 that Trump’s accounts will be reinstated “in the coming weeks,” but added that “new guardrails” would be put in place “to deter repeat offenses.”
