Meta restores Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts despite their incendiary power

Donald Trump already has what he wanted from the giants of social communication and when he wishes he will be able to return to his freedom with his lies and incitement to hatred in the most important networks.

The Republican leader asked Meta to reinstate him, less than a month ago. And the company was quick to say yes. His head of Global Affairs, former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, announced the pardon in a very long statement in which he gave all kinds of explanations while ensuring that the prominent prodigal son of the networks would be subject to special surveillance: if he returned Failure to comply with the particular rules and limitations of free expression established by Meta, the company would impose "new protection measures to prevent the crimes from being repeated."
