Mod: Two years with a possibility for more in Facebook jail. Nice. So here is my question. Why has Facebook now done more about Trump's crimes and abusive behavior than the Department of Justice?
Donald Trump Turned Into A Mocking Emoji On New York Daily News Cover (Huffington Postlink): The New York Daily News responded to Donald Trump’s extended ban from Facebook with a new emoji of the ex-president. The newspaper reimagined Trump as the crying face image on its Saturday cover.
“Faceblock,” read its headline, in the social media giant’s font.Trump was initially booted from Facebook for inciting the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. On Friday, the company announced the ban would be reassessed on its two-year anniversary, meaning Trump could be back online and free to again post his divisive rhetoric ahead of a possible 2024 presidential run.
“We will evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest, said Nick Clegg, Facebook’s Vice President of global affairs.
“If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded,” added Clegg, the former deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Trump melts down after Facebook announces 2-year-long ban: 'Our country can't take this abuse anymore!' (Raw Storylink): Former president Donald Trump blasted Facebook on Friday after the social networking website announced that he would be banned from the platform for at least two years.
"Our country can't take this abuse anymore,"Trump said in a statement.
The two-year ban will be effective from January 7, when Trump was booted off the platform, and comes after Facebook's independent oversight board said the indefinite ban should be reviewed.
"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump's suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols," Facebook vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg said in a post.Facebook also said it will no longer give politicians blanket immunity for deceptive or abusive content at the social network based on their comments being newsworthy.
Mod: Banned. Like a common troll. Whining like one, too.
