Facebook Inc. said it is suspending Donald Trump's accounts for
two years, formalizing a longterm penalty for the former U.S.
president after its independent Oversight Board said the company
was wrong to keep the ban open-ended.
Facebook said it would revisit the suspension two years from the
date of its initial move to suspend him on Jan. 7, the day after
the riots at the U.S. Capitol.
"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," the company wrote in a blog post on
Friday.
